Market Analysis Paper - Public Storage and Warehousing (logistics)
3-5 page, double spaced paper in Chicago Style Format answering the following;

1.) Explain (support) why is it a "market." You may wish to consider such criteria as competition, substitutability, law of one price, and ensuring its boundaries are narrow enough to be meaningful. NAICS may be helpful.

2.) Recognizing that markets span a spectrum from competitive to non-competitive, peg your market/industry in this spectrum. Explain the factors that justify this placement.

3.) Identify and explain which structure is best for your market/industry (there are different optimum structure for different industries). Consider the trade-off between potentially competing requirements: economic value, most efficient use of resources, competition, R&D, innovation, meeting national security requirements, and sustainability including capacity to earn adequate profit to retain an adequate number of firms within an industry. Perhaps your market/industry is already located at an optimum point in the competition spectrum. If so, why?

4.) Is there market or government failure (regulation that is hurting rather than helping)? Note, anytime an industry is not a perfectly competitive market, there may be elements of market failure.

5.) If your market is not at an optimum point in the competition spectrum, provide at least one government policy recommendation to address this (i.e. to address one of the associated market failures).
