A

Threat to entry: patents, trademarks, copyrights
Buyer bargaining power: can lower prices
Supplier bargaining power: is there only one supplier?
Substitution: more substitutes, more elastic
Rivalry among competitors: price wars

Q

Excise tax

A

collected from supplier that decreases supply of a good, based on a per unit
increases equilibrium prices

Q

Price ceilings

A

market can’t go above set price, which is set below the equilibrium
This is in response to a surplus in the market, and unfair scarcity exists
creates a shortage
EX: rent controls

Q

Price floors

A

market can’t go below set price, which is set above the equilibrium
In response to shortage, and creates a surplus
EX: minimum wage

16
Q

Simultaneous shifts in demand and supply

A

demand increases, supply increases: quantity increase
demand increases, supply decreases: price increases
demand decreases, supply increases: price decreases
demand decreases, supply decreases: quantity decrease

17
Q

linear demand curve vs. log linear demand curve

A

linear: constant slope, not elasticity

log linear: constant elasticity, not slope

18
Q

Inelastic and total revenue

A

when prices increase, total revenue increases

19
Q

Elastic and total revenue

A

when prices increase, total revenue decreases

20
Q

Consumer equilibrium

A

marginal rate of substitution (slope of indifference curve) = market rate of substitution (slope of budget line)

21
Q

Economies of scale

A

in the LRAC decreases as output increases

22
Q

Economies of scope

A

the cost of producing two types of output together is less than the cost of producing each one separately

23
Q

Cost complementary

A

the marginal cost of one good decreases as output of another good increases
EX: donut holes

24
Q

Spot exchange

A

firm has one time deal
no protection against opportunism and hold-ups
pro: firm gets to specialize
con: no protection

25
Q

Contract

A

agreed upon pricing and amount purchased

pro: firm gets to specialize
con: not complete protection, and can not count for all contingencies possible

26
Q

Vertical Integration

A

Firms start to produce their own inputs

pro: don’t have to deal with suppliers
con: no more specialization and much incur input costs

27
Q

Principal agent problem

A

Solutions:
profit sharing: based on profitability, like shares
revenue sharing: based on revenue, like commission
piece rates: based on how much output
time clocks and spot checks:

28
Q

Site specificity
Physical assets specificity
dedicated assets
human capital

A

Firms locate near suppliers
firms good only works in specific model
new segments created for specific buyers: government
trained skills only usable for current job

29
Q

Factors affecting own price elasiticity

A

available substitutes: the more substitutes, the more elastic
time: the more time, the more elastic
expenditure share: smaller the share, the more inelastic

30
Q

Demand shifters

A 
change in income: M
change in other good: Py
change in # of consumers
change in price of good: Px
consumer tastes and preferences
expected price of good in future
31
Q

Quantity demand shifter

A

change in price, moves along the demand curve

32
Q

Own price of elasticity for linear demand curves

A

%change in quantity / %change in price or

beta(Px/Qx)

33
Q

Own price of elasticity for log linear demand curves

A

the coefficient of Px in the equation

34
Q

Income elasticity for linear demand curves

A

%change in quantity / %change in income or

beta(M/Qx)

35
Q

Income elasticity for log linear demand curves

A

the coefficient for M in the equation

36
Q

Cross-price elasticity for linear demand curves

A

%change in quantity of x / %change in price of y or

beta(Py/Qx)

37
Q

Cross-price elasticity for log linear demand curves

A

the coefficient for the other good
