1 Market Structures
2 Section 1 Perfect Competition
3 Perfect Competition - a market structure in which a large number of firms all produce the same product.
4 Four Conditions for Perfect Competition
5 1. Many Buyers and Sellers There are many participants on both the buying and selling sides.
6 2. Identical Products There are no differences between the products sold by different suppliers
7 3. Informed Buyers and Sellers The market provides the buyer with full information about the product and its price.
8 4. Free Market Entry and Exit Firms can enter the market when they can make money and leave it when they can't.
9 Equilibrium Quantity Price Price and Output One of the primary characteristics of perfectly competitive markets is that they are efficient. In a perfectly competitive market, price and output reach their equilibrium levels. Market Equilibrium in Perfect Competition Supply Equilibrium Price Demand Quantity
10 Barriers to Entry Factors that make it difficult for new firms to enter a market are called barriers to entry.
11 EX: Start-up Costs The expenses that a new business must pay before the first product reaches the customer are called start-up costs.
12 EX: Technology Some markets require a high degree of technological knowhow. As a result, new entrepreneurs cannot easily enter these markets.
13 Incumbent firms can seek to make it difficult for new competitors by spending heavily on advertising that new firms would find more difficult to afford. EX: Advertising
14 Entry of global players into local market make entry of local players into the market difficult. EX: Globalization
15 EX: Customer Loyalty Large incumbent firms may have existing customers loyal to established products. The presence of established strong brands within a market can be a barrier to entry in this case.
16 EX: Control of Resources If a single firm has control of a resource essential for a certain industry, then other firms are unable to compete in the industry.
17 Section 2 - Monopoly
18 Monopoly A monopoly is a market dominated by a single seller. Monopolies form when barriers prevent firms from entering a market that has a single supplier.
19 Monopolies can take advantage of their power and charge high prices.
20 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: The salt commission *a legal monopoly in China formed in 758.
21 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: U.S. Steel * anti-trust prosecution failed in 1911.
22 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: Standard Oil *broken up in 1911
23 Successor companies from Standard Oil The successor companies from Standard Oil's breakup form the core of today's US oil industry. (Several of these companies were considered among the Seven Sisters who dominated the industry worldwide for much of the twentieth century.) They include: Standard Oil of New Jersey (SONJ) - or Esso (S.O.) - renamed Exxon, now part of ExxonMobil. Standard Trust companies Carter Oil, Imperial Oil (Canada), and Standard of Louisiana were kept as part of Standard Oil of New Jersey after the breakup. Standard Oil of New York - or Socony, merged with Vacuum - renamed Mobil, now part of ExxonMobil. Standard Oil of California - or Socal - renamed Chevron, became ChevronTexaco, but returned to Chevron. Standard Oil of Indiana - or Stanolind, renamed Amoco (American Oil Co.) - now part of BP. Standard's Atlantic and the independent company Richfield merged to form Atlantic Richfield or ARCO, now part of BP. Atlantic operations were spun off and bought by Sunoco. Standard Oil of Kentucky - or Kyso was acquired by Standard Oil of California - currently Chevron. Continental Oil Company - or Conoco now part of ConocoPhillips. Standard Oil of Ohio - or Sohio now part of BP. The Ohio Oil Company - more commonly referred to as "The Ohio", and marketed gasoline under the Marathon name. The company is now known as Marathon Oil Company, and was often a rival with the in-state Standard spinoff, Sohio. Other Standard Oil spin-offs: Standard Oil of Iowa - pre became Standard Oil of California. Standard Oil of Minnesota - pre bought by Standard Oil of Indiana. Standard Oil of Illinois - pre bought by Standard Oil of Indiana. Standard Oil of Kansas - refining only, eventually bought by Indiana Standard. Standard Oil of Missouri - pre dissolved. Standard Oil of Louisiana - always owned by Standard Oil of New Jersey (now ExxonMobil). Standard Oil of Brazil - always owned by Standard Oil of New Jersey (now ExxonMobil). Other companies divested in the 1911 breakup: Anglo-American Oil Co. - acquired by Jersey Standard in 1930, now Esso UK. Buckeye Pipeline Co. Borne-Scrymser Co. (chemicals) Chesebrough Manufacturing (Vaseline) Colonial Oil. Crescent Pipeline Co. Cumberland Pipe Line Co. Eureka Pipe Line Co. Galena-Signal Oil Co. Indiana Pipe Line Co. National Transit Co. New York Transit Co. Northern Pipe Line Co. Prairie Oil & Gas. Solar Refining. Southern Pipe Line Co. South Penn Oil Co. - eventually became Pennzoil, now part of Shell. Southwest Pennsylvania Pipe Line Co. Swan and Finch. Union Tank Lines. Washington Oil Co. Waters-Pierce. Note: Standard Oil of Colorado was not a successor company; the name was used to capitalize on the Standard Oil brand in the 1930s. Standard Oil of Connecticut is a fuel oil marketer not related to the Rockefeller companies.
24 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: National Football League *survived anti-trust lawsuit in the 1960s, convicted of being an illegal monopoly in the 1980s.
25 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: Major League Baseball *survived U.S. anti-trust litigation in 1922, though its special status is still in dispute as of 2008.
26 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: Microsoft Microsoft; settled anti-trust litigation in the U.S. in 2001; fined by the European Commission in 2004, which was upheld for the most part by the Court of First Instance of the European Communities in The fine was 1.35 Billion USD in 2008 for incompliance with the 2004 rule.
27 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: De Beers *settled charges of price fixing in the diamond trade in the 2000s.
28 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: Joint Commission *has a monopoly over whether or not US hospitals are able to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
29 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: Deutsche Telekom *former state monopoly, still partially state owned, currently monopolizes high-speed VDSL broadband network.
30 Examples of alleged and legal monopolies: A.A.F.E.S. (Army and Air Force Exchange Service) *has a monopoly on retail sales at overseas military installations. Burger King -AAFES cooperation, Camp Liberty, Iraq (June, 2003)
31 Forming a Monopoly Different market conditions can create different types of monopolies.
32 1. Economies of Scale If a firm's start-up costs are high, and its average costs fall for each additional unit it produces, then it enjoys what economists call economies of scale.
33 2. Natural Monopolies a market that runs most efficiently when one large firm provides all of the output.
34 3. Technology and Change
35 Government Monopolies A government monopoly is a monopoly created by the government.
36 Technological Monopolies Example: patents
37 Franchises and Licenses A franchise is a contract that gives a single firm the right to sell its goods within an exclusive market. A license is a government-issued right to operate a business.
38 Industrial Organizations In rare cases, such as sports leagues, the government allows companies in an industry to restrict the number of firms in the market.
39 Price Discrimination Price discrimination is the division of customers into groups based on how much they will pay for a good.
40 Although price discrimination is a feature of monopoly, it can be practiced by any company with market power. Market power is the ability to control prices and total market output.
41 Targeted discounts, like student discounts and manufacturers rebate offers, are one form of price discrimination. Price discrimination requires some market power, distinct customer groups, and difficult resale.
42 Price Output Decisions Even a monopolist faces a limited choice it can choose to set either output or price, but not both. Monopolists will try to maximize profits; therefore, compared with a perfectly competitive market, the monopolist produces fewer goods at a higher price. A monopolist sets output at a point where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. Setting a Price in a Monopoly Market Price $11 $3 B A 9,000 Output (in doses) Marginal Cost C Demand Marginal Revenue
43 Section 3 Monopolistic Competition and Oligopoly ABC, NBC, CBS =50 s 60 s
44 Non price Competition - Nonprice competition is a way to attract customers through style, service, or location, but not a lower price.
45 Non Price Competition: Advertising Project Groups: 4-6 people Product: Sports Drink (Gatorade) = $2 Task: develop a second advertisement (skit) promoting this product from your company. Each person in the group must take part. Step #1 Form groups Step #2 Write script and bring it to me for approval (you can call this product whatever you want) Step #3 Once approved see me for a pass to go film if you want to
46 Scoring Rubric: Creativity (Tuesday) : Effort (Tuesday) : Copy of script (Friday): Exactly 30 or 45 seconds (Tuesday) : 250 pts 250 pts 110 pts 200 pts
47 Extra Credit Opportunity: up to 140 pts Video tape your advertisement and submit a copy to me on a digital format (DVD, Mp4, Flash drive, etc)
48 Characteristics of Nonprice Competition
49 1. Characteristics of Goods-The simplest way for a firm to distinguish its products is to offer a new size, color, shape, texture, or taste.
50 2. Location of Sale-A convenience store in the middle of the desert differentiates its product simply by selling it hundreds of miles away from the nearest competitor.
51 3. Service Level-Some sellers can charge higher prices because they offer customers a higher level of service.
52 4. Advertising Image-Firms also use advertising to create apparent differences between their own offerings and other products in the marketplace.
53 Four Conditions of Monopolistic Competition In monopolistic competition, many companies compete in an open market to sell products which are similar, but not identical.
54 1. Many Firms-As a rule, monopolistically competitive markets are not marked by economies of scale or high start-up costs, allowing more firms. (i.e. restaurants, cereal, clothing, shoes )
55 2. Few Artificial Barriers to Entry-Firms in a monopolistically competitive market do not face high barriers to entry.
56 3. Slight Control over Price-Firms in a monopolistically competitive market have some freedom to raise prices because each firm's goods are a little different from everyone else's.
57 4. Differentiated Products-Firms have some control over their selling price because they can differentiate, or distinguish, their goods from other products in the market.
58 Prices, Profits, and Output Prices Prices will be higher than they would be in perfect competition, because firms have a small amount of power to raise prices.
59 Profits While monopolistically competitive firms can earn profits in the short run, they have to work hard to keep their product distinct enough to stay ahead of their rivals.
60 Costs and Variety Monopolistically competitive firms cannot produce at the lowest average price due to the number of firms in the market. They do, however, offer a wide array of goods and services to consumers.
61 Oligopoly Oligopoly describes a market dominated by a few large, profitable firms. Collusion Collusion is an agreement among members of an oligopoly to set prices and production levels. Pricefixing is an agreement among firms to sell at the same or similar prices. Cartels A cartel is an association by producers established to coordinate prices and production.
62 Comparison of Market Structures Comparison of Market Structures Perfect Competition Monopolistic Competition Oligopoly Monopoly Number of firms Variety of goods Many None Many Some Two to four dominate Some One None Control over prices None Little Some Complete Barriers to entry and exit Examples None Wheat, shares of stock Low Jeans, books High Cars, movie studios Complete Public water
63 Market Power Market power is the ability of a company to control prices and output.
64 Markets dominated by a few large firms tend to have higher prices and lower output than markets with many sellers.
65 To control prices and output like a monopoly, firms sometimes use predatory pricing. Predatory pricing sets the market price below cost levels for the short term to drive out competitors.
66 Government and Competition Government policies keep firms from controlling the prices and supply of important goods. Antitrust laws are laws that encourage competition in the marketplace.
67 1. Regulating Business Practices-The government has the power to regulate business practices if these practices give too much power to a company that already has few competitors
68 2. Breaking Up Monopolies-The government has used antitrust legislation to break up existing monopolies, such as the Standard Oil Trust and AT&T.
69 3. Blocking Mergers-A merger is a combination of two or more companies into a single firm. The government can block mergers that would decrease competition.
70 4. Preserving Incentives-In 1997, new guidelines were introduced for proposed mergers, giving companies an opportunity to show that their merging benefits consumers.
71 Deregulation Deregulation is the removal of some government controls over a market. Deregulation is used to promote competition. Many new competitors enter a market that has been deregulated. This is followed by an economically healthy weeding out of some firms from that market, which can be hard on workers in the short term.
