Regulation within the Automobile industry as a whole, with the SUV sector of Toyota and Ford being more of a focus. Specifically, I’m looking for research related to:
The nature of the industry regulation. How does it affect Ford & Toyota? Reasons why these regulations are in place? How did they change over time?
What kinds of (regulatory) barriers of entry exist in your industry? Have Toyota and Ford been affected?
Describe and discuss any notable anti-trust cases in which Ford & Toyota were involved. Discuss the economics underlying the cases. Why were the practices the company was accused of considered anti-competitive?
How do the effects of regulation affect the economics of Ford and Toyota? For example: does it affect costs, prices, and/or market structure?
