There are 4 basic types of Market Structure:
1. Perfect Competition
2. Monopolistic Competition
3. Oligopoly
4. Monopoly
Select one of the above, give me one fact about the market structure and one example of a modern day business that operates as the structure you select. Don't copy your classmate's ideas.
Oligopoly:
ReplyDeleteFact:Market power in oligopoly is due to a lack of sellers or producers in the market

Monopoly:
ReplyDeleteFact: monopoly is a market environment where there is only one provider of a certain economic good or service.
Example: The cable company is an example of this in India (sort of like it is in America.) The cable company in India, facing no competition, is notorious for poor quality and poor service.

Perfect Competition:
ReplyDeleteFact:Perfect Competition describes markets that have no participants are large enough to have the market power to set the price of a certain product/good/service.
Example: Agricultural markets. No farmer is large enough to set the market price for selling corn, wheat etc. Therefore, agricultural markets are really close to the perfect competition definition because there are many providers who sell the same good, and different goods, but are not large enough to singlehandedly set the market price.

Monopolistic Competition:
ReplyDeleteFact:Monopolistic Competition is a market structure in which many
Firms sell products that are similar but not identical
Example: Restaurants. An example of monopolistic competition are Chinese restaurants and buffets, though they both have the same basis of what their food is going to be, the taste and quality is different.

Perfect Competition
ReplyDeleteFact: They are structured so that no small firm can alter the market price or the quantity demanded.
Example: An example of this would be a farmer's market such as Pike's Place market. There are so many suppliers in this one given market that if one supplier were not to show up or sell anything on a given day, it would not affect the market price

Monopolistic Competition
ReplyDeleteFact: Monopolistically competitive firms are assumed to be profit 'maximisers' because firms tend to be small with entrepreneurs actively involved in managing the business.
Example: Hotels- knowledge is widely spread between participants (different hotel companies) and they learn from each other's ideas to compete for customers.

Monopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: A monopoly falls under the category of limited competition because it assumes that a single producer sells a product with no close substitutes to many buyers and benefits from barriers to entry by other firms.

Monopolistic competition
ReplyDeleteFact: a type of imperfect competition such that many products are differentiated from on another and hence not perfect substitutes.

Karishma Shah, Period 2
Monopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: Since a monopoly is a system in which only one firm supplies a specific product, the firm is able to produce only few of those products and charge very high prices, especially when the product produced has an inelastic demand.
Example: Samsung
Samsung has a monopoly on phone screens so you can only get a cracked phone screen replaced by Samsung directly, at a very high cost.

ReplyDeletethe exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service.
example: yeti
Perfect Competition
ReplyDeleteFact: In a market with "perfect competition" all firms have a relatively small market share and for that reason cannot control the market price of their product.
Example: A milk producer. Because there are so many different milk producers all making the same exact product, none of them are big and powerful enough to set the market price since consumers could just go to one of the many other producers for the same exact product at a lower price.
Monopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: It describes complete control of the entire supply of goods or of a service in a certain area or market

Monopolistic Competition
ReplyDeleteFact: When firms in monopolistic competition are making a profit, new firms have an incentive to enter the market
Example: In an outdoor souvenir market, many different vendors sell very similar key chains that may only have variations in design and quality
Logan Felton, Period 2
Monopoly: Monopolies have a complete control over the industry that they are in. They can set whatever price they want because there is no competition to offer different prices.
ReplyDeleteEx: If a firm were the first firm to develop chocolate cows that could naturally produce chocolate milk and made sure their methods of developing such a cow were kept under wraps, that firm would then have monopoly over naturally produced chocolate milk.

Shogan Tom
Period 6th
Fact: A monopolistic competition, where many firms have a relatively low market power, has an elasticity of demand that is highly elastic and is sensitive to price changes in the long run.
ReplyDeleteExample: The cell phone market is highly elastic as not many people are willing to get the latest and greatest cell phone on the market *cough *cough *iPhone 7 *cough when their own phone performs perfectly fine or when an older model from last year is cheaper.

ReplyDeleteMonopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: Since the Monopoly firm's demand is equal to the market demand, they will keep selling products until the extra amount of profit they receive is greater than the additional costs in producing that good so they set their quantity where MC=MR.
Example: Microsoft owns a handful of smaller companies that has no competition to the main firm.

Monopolistic Competition:
ReplyDeleteIn a monopolistically competitive industry its easy for the new firms to enter and the existing firms to leave it. The new firms entering will increase outputs which can cause the price of the product of that market to fall, especially when the items being sold are similar.
Example:
India's banking system that be an example of a monopolistic competitive market. In 1992, India made reforms to the financial sector which caused the banks to be more competitive- meaning that they were employing similar products at similar prices.

Oligopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: Oligopolies tend to have no unique pattern of pricing behavior. Rivalry among oligopolists due to interdependence creates two conflicting motives. Each wishes to stay independent and to gain a maximum possible profit. thus, they act and react on the price out-put movements of one another which are continuous element of uncertainty. However, as each is motivated by profit, the sellers cooperate again, causing unique pricing patterns.
Examples: Internet search engines such as google, yahoo, and bing
Oligopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: An Oligopoly is controlled by a few producers who affect each other but do not control the market, therefore, each producer must consider the price change of the other because this will cause the other producer to lower costs for the sake of competition.
Example: The music entertainment industry which is controlled by groups such as Sony, Warner Brother, and Universal Music Group.

Monopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: In cases in which a small number of monopolists supply goods that are either perfect or imperfect complements, there must be no significant relationship of substitution or complementarity with the products of any other firm or group of firms, essentially the same type of interdependence as in oligopoly
Example: Google is already the largest search engine in the world with nearly 1/4 of the global population using it as their primary search engine. They are also planning to buy Yahoo which holds another 300 million users. this would allow Google to dominate half of the world population and essentially have full control of the internet. The blog I'm using right now to right this post is controlled by Google and I had to use my Google account to make posts so I could get a grade in this class. Google owns the world
Monopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: The government may reserve a venture for itself, forming a government monopoly. Some countries' electricity companies are monopolies run by the government.
Example: Some drugs are patented, and a company may increase a drug's price by tenfold or even more, as seen recently in the Turing Pharmaceuticals controversy.

oligopoly
ReplyDeletecompetition between sellers in an oligopoly can be fierce, with relatively low prices and high production. This could lead to an efficient outcome approaching perfect competition. The competition in an oligopoly can be greater when there are more firms in an industry than if, for example, the firms were only regionally based and did not compete directly with each other.
exmple:Companies in technology, pharmaceuticals and health insurance have become successful in establishing oligopolies in the U.S.
Oligopoly
ReplyDeleteFact: The prevalence of oligopoly, and the present inadequate state of oligopoly theory, leaves a serious void in our understanding of how market forces govern a significant portion of the economic activity in those countries which rely on them. The void persists in spite of the heroic efforts made since the 1840s to close it.
