How markets solve the three economic problems

What goods and services will be produced is determined by the dollar votes of consumers in their daily purchase decisions. Firms are motivated by the desire to maximize profits (net revenues, or the difference between total sales and total costs). How things are produced is determined by the competition among different producers. The best way for producers to meet price competition and maximize profits is to keep costs at a minimum by adopting the most efficient methods of production. For whom things are produced – who is consuming, and how much – depends, in large part, on the supply and demand in the markets for factors of production. Factor markets determine wage rates, land rents interest rate, and profits.

经济学专业英语教程(精编版)(第二版)课件：Oligopoly

Without formal agreement, firms can play a game of follow-the-leader that economists call price leadership. Price leadership is a pricing strategy in which a dominant firm sets the price for an industry and the other firms follow. Following this tactic, firms in an industry simply match the price of perhaps, but not necessarily, the biggest firm.
An oligopoly is characterized by: Few sellers; Either a homogeneous or a differentiated product; Difficult market entry. Oligopoly is found in real-world industries.
Another way to avoid price wars is for oligopolists to agree to a peace treaty. Instead of allowing mutual interdependence to lead to rivalry, firms openly or secretly conspire to form a monopoly called a cartel. A cartel is a group of firms that formally agree to control the price and the output of a product. The goal of a cartel is to reap monopoly profits by replacing competition with cooperation.

The Life-Cycle Theory of Consumption
FIGURE 16.1 Life-Cycle Theory of Consumption
In their early working years, people consume more than they earn. This is also true in the retirement years. In between, people save (consume less than they earn) to pay off debts from borrosavings for retirement.

1.2 Economic Models Explain how economic models are useful in managerial decision making
Profit = Revenue − Costs
• The job of the chief executive officer (CEO) is to focus on the bottom line: maximizing profit. – The CEO is also concerned with how a firm is positioned in a market relative to its rivals. ▪ However, it is critical the CEO focuses on maximizing the firm’s profit rather than beating a rival.
1.1 Managerial Decision Making (3 of 5)
Trade-Offs • In an environment of scarcity, managers must focus on the trade-offs that directly or
indirectly affect profits. – Evaluating trade-offs often involves marginal reasoning: considering the effect of a small change.
• The firm’s top manager must coordinate and direct all these activities. – Could you think on this manager’s constraints?

Full Information
• Buyers know the prices charged by all firms and that products are identical. No single firm can unilaterally raise its price above the market equilibrium price.
marginal cost determines its output. • Firms have zero economic profit in the long run. • Perfect competition maximizes economic well-being of the society.
Solution Approach • We need to combine our understanding of demand curves with knowledge about firm
and market supply curves to predict industry price, quantity, and profits.
Identical Products
• Buyers perceive firms sell identical or homogeneous products. Granny Smith apples are identical, all farmers charge the same price.

8.1 Perfect Competition (1 of 3)
• Perfect competition is a market structure in which buyers and sellers are price takers. – A price-taking firm cannot affect the market price for a product, it faces a horizontal demand and it sells at the market price.
