We present three classroom exercises designed to explore issues of fairness and equity in economics. In each exercise, students put economics in context as they consider the art of economics in addition to the science. The active learning nature of the exercises involves students as they consider (1) the free-rider problem, (2) the contrast between democratic and free-market ideals, and (3) externalities. Each exercise, including discussion, will fit into a 50-minute class period. The author has used the exercises in introductory microeconomics courses, in classes of 30 to 50 students.

This paper contrasts four distinct versions of the Prisoner's Dilemma (the commons, public goods, biological altruism, and biological selfishness) in terms of their ethical content for economic decision making. An argument is made for the restoration of Tucker's third player - as given in the original specification of the game - in order to judge whether a resolution is desirable in economic and business situations that reduce to the Prisoner's Dilemma. Finally, the use of tit-for-tat as a 'solution' to the Prisoner's Dilemma is compared with the practice of business ethics.

This final rule will implement the new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (``Exchanges''), consistent with title I of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, referred to collectively as the Affordable Care Act. The Exchanges will provide competitive marketplaces for individuals and small employers to directly compare available private health insurance options on the basis of price, quality, and other factors. The Exchanges, which will become operational by January 1, 2014, will help enhance competition in the health insurance market, improve choice of affordable health insurance, and give small businesses the same purchasing clout as large businesses.

Beginning in January, changes to the Rio Metro Regional Transit District offer one more reason for area residents to depend on public transportation. Rio Metro, the regional transit district serving Valencia, Bernalillo and Sandoval counties, is known for operating the New Mexico Rail Runner Express. What's less known is Rio Metro's role in running bus routes that connect people to places like Bernalillo, Cuba, Kewa Pueblo, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas and Belen. Because of those routes, traveling to Jemez Springs, the ABQ International Sunport, and Santa Ana Star Casino will become less of a traffic nuisance and more like a fun day trip. As the Rio Metro system has grown and expanded over the last year, transportation honchos have started offering additional bus routes to help people navigate...
There's no secret that riding a bicycle is good not just for the rider, but also for the environment. With that in mind, Salt Lake County is sponsoring its annual Cycle Salt Lake week with events ranging from free bike tuneups to memorial rides to honor cyclists killed on the road to 100-mile tours. The weeklong celebration of all things bicycle-related begins Saturday with the Live Green Festival at Library Square and a mountain bike tour along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Sunday at 2 p.m.
