For Questions 26 and 27, assume that two different coastal cities are competing to have their location
selected by the Federal Government to build a Major Deepwater Shipping Port for large container ships.
The cost to build the port and more highway access is $200MM but the city that gets project will get
S16MM in fees per year as well as jobs for 3,600 people. City A spends $1,280,000 on lobbyists,
presentations and trips to Washington, D.C. to try to win the project and City B spends $1,180,000 to try to
win.

This action on the part of the two cities is known as:
Rent Seeking
Regulatory Capture
Logrolling
Corruption
