Answer:

A principal-agent game.

Explanation:

The principal-agent problem is a conflict in priorities between the owner of an asset and the person to whom control of the asset has been delegated.

The problem can occur in many situations, from the relationship between a client and a lawyer to the relationship between stockholders and a CEO.

Resolving a principal-agent problem may require changing the system of rewards in order to align priorities or improving the flow of information or both

Answer:

The answer is Principal Agent Game Theory.

Explanation:

This concept is characterized by

  1. A principal hires an agent to complete some task the agent is unable or unwilling to do.
  2. A leader is an agent to the citizens (or principals) of a country.
  3. Principals must be worried that agents will do what the agents want to do and not what the principals hired the agents to do. This is especially concerning when the two sides have unaligned preferences like in the question above
  4. There is no effective monitoring, and future incentives are unavailable.
  5. Leaders might instigate wars when it is convenient for them even though those wars are bad for the country.

Countries are interconnected today as never before. From eating foods from different countries to singing along to songs perform
Nuetrik [128]
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings.  You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.

In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations.  However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.

I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in.  For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.

There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.

As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic.  We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.  

These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).

The true statement about this natural monopoly is that It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers.

A very good example of a natural monopoly is the case of tap water.
