實(shí)力懸殊的寡頭的行為時(shí)卻不夠現(xiàn)實(shí)。以此類推 。這種環(huán)境下,企業(yè)經(jīng)理人的決策具有以下特點(diǎn): 經(jīng)理們知道自己的決策會(huì)影響到對(duì)手的銷售情況和利潤水平 經(jīng)理們做出決策后,對(duì)手會(huì)對(duì)這些決策作出反應(yīng) 經(jīng)理們的銷售和利潤狀況依賴于對(duì)手的反應(yīng) 但是,經(jīng)理們并不確知對(duì)手實(shí)際上將如何反應(yīng) 在這種環(huán)境下,經(jīng)理人的成功在于學(xué)會(huì)如何預(yù)期市場中其它競爭對(duì)手的行動(dòng)和反應(yīng),從而作出利潤最大化的決策 寡頭的管理決策 ? 定義 某一產(chǎn)業(yè)只存在少數(shù)幾個(gè)賣者(通常少于 10個(gè))的市場組織形式。 – You are a monopolistically petitive firm and the inverse demand for your brand is P = 100 Q Marginal Cost ? C(Q) = 125 + 4Q2, ? So MC = 8Q ? This is independent of market structure Price Taker ? MR = P = $40 ? Set MR = MC ? 40 = 8Q ? Q = 5 units ? Cost of producing 5 units ? C(Q) = 125 + 4Q2 = 125 + 100 = 225 ? Revenues: ? PQ = (40)(5) = 200 ? Maximum profits of $25 ? Implications: Expect exit in the longrun Monopoly/Monopolistic Competition ? MR = 100 2Q (since P = 100 Q) ? Set MR = MC, or 100 2Q = 8Q – Optimal output: Q = 10 – Optimal price: P = 100 (10) = 90 – Maximal profits: ? PQ C(Q) = (90)(10) (125 + 4(100)) = 375 ? Implications – Monopolist will not face entry (unless patent or other entry barriers are eliminated) – Monopolistically petitive firm should expect other firms to clone, so profits will decline over time 寡頭壟斷 Oligopoly ? 在完全競爭、完全壟斷、壟斷競爭三種市場環(huán)境中,企業(yè)決策始終遵循著 SCP邏輯:即市場結(jié)構(gòu)決定企業(yè)行為和企業(yè)績效 Market Structure – Number of firms, size, etc. Conduct – Pricing, advertising, RD, etc. Performance – Profitability, consumer surplus, social welfare. ? 而在有些市場環(huán)境下,企業(yè)決策機(jī)制似乎難以固定描述。 該公司經(jīng)理估計(jì)該企業(yè)面臨的需求方程為 p = , 而該公司的長期總成本函數(shù)為 : TC = 400Q 20Q2 +Q3 問: 該公司的長期均衡價(jià)格和產(chǎn)量各是多少?它將獲得多少利潤?此時(shí),壟斷競爭的長期均衡條件是否得到滿足? 壟斷競爭企業(yè)前景如何 ? 如何延遲零經(jīng)濟(jì)利潤的最終結(jié)局? parison Maximizing Profits: A Synthesizing Example ? C(Q) = 125 + 4Q2 ? Determine the profitmaximizing output and price, and discuss its implications, if – You are a price taker and other firms charge $40 per unit。 D0 D1 $ AC MC D MR Q* P* Quantity of Brand X MR1 D1 Entry P1 Q1 Long Run Equilibrium (P = AC, so zero profits) Graphically 壟斷競爭下的長期均衡 (續(xù)) D q 0 pE LMC LAC E P,C,R qE MR ( 1)由于廠商可以自由進(jìn)入,壟斷競爭長期均衡滿足: LAC=AR=P, MC=MR ( 2)壟斷競爭的效率低于完全競爭(均衡價(jià)格高、均衡產(chǎn)量低),因?yàn)榫鈺r(shí) p≠M(fèi)C, 同時(shí)生產(chǎn)沒有推進(jìn)到平均成本最低點(diǎn) ( 3)壟斷競爭的效率高于完全壟斷 ( 4)壟斷競爭帶來了產(chǎn)品差異化,更好地滿足了消費(fèi)者;同時(shí)有利于技術(shù)進(jìn)步 Monopolistic Competition The Good (To Consumers) – Product Variety The Bad (To Society) – P MC – Excess capacity ?

In the absence of free entry, no adjustments occur. ? If the industry is truly monopolistically petitive, there is free entry. – In this case other “ greedy capitalists” enter, and their new brands steal market share. – This reduces the demand for your product until profits are ultimately zero. 壟斷競爭下的長期均衡 D q 0 pE LMC LAC E P,C,R qE MR 只要存在短期超額利潤,就有投資者進(jìn)入;隨著新企業(yè)的進(jìn)入, 替代品數(shù)量將增加,代表性企業(yè)面臨的需求曲線將向左下方移動(dòng)。 firms have limited market power. 與完全壟斷類似 ? Free entry and exit, so firms will earn zero profits in the long run. 與完全競爭類似 Managing a Monopolistically Competitive Firm ? Market power permits you to price above marginal cost, just like a monopolist. ? How much you sell depends on the price you set, just like a monopolist. But … ? The presence of other brands in the market makes the demand for your brand more elastic than if you were a monopolist. ?

Collusion Contract... I. II. III. Legal Barriers to Monopoly Power ? Section 3 of the Clayton Act (1914) – Prohibits exclusive dealing and tying arrangements where the effect may be to “ substantially lessen petition” ? Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act (1890) – Prohibits pricefixing, market sharing, and other collusive practices designed to “ monopolize, or attempt to monopolize” a market Managing a Monopoly ? Market power permits you to price above MC ? Is the sky the limit? ? No. How much you sell depends on the price you set!
