  2. Market power and imperfect competition Firms are price-takers Firms have market power (Perfect competition) (Imperfect competition) (Sessions 1–6) (Sessions 7–15) Session 8 • Pricing with Market Power Slide 2 P1 Sep–Oct 2012 • Timothy Van Zandt • Prices & Markets

  3. Pricing with market power Firms are price-takers Firms have market power (Perfect competition) (Imperfect competition) (Sessions 1–6) Individual Equilibrium decisions (Sessions 7–11) (Sessions 12–15) Session 8 • Pricing with Market Power Slide 3 P1 Sep–Oct 2012 • Timothy Van Zandt • Prices & Markets

  9. Marginal revenue for linear demand Demand: Q = 16 − (2 / 3) P d ( P ) Inverse demand: p ( Q ) Revenue: r ( Q ) = p ( Q ) × Q Marginal revenue: MR = r ′ ( Q ) Session 8 • Pricing with Market Power Slide 8 P1 Sep–Oct 2012 • Timothy Van Zandt • Prices & Markets

  15. Session 8: Pricing with Market Power ✓ 1. The quantity choice. ➥ 2. Entry and exit. 3. Business-plan example (P&M meets FMV & UDJ & Man. Acc.) Session 8 • Pricing with Market Power Slide 13 P1 Sep–Oct 2012 • Timothy Van Zandt • Prices & Markets

  16. Exit/Entry: Effect of a LR fixed cost FC affects shut-down option, not whether you produce 10 or 12 units (or whether you charge 20 or 24). Recipe: 1 Calculate profit-maximizing price/quantity ignoring the fixed cost. 2 Calculate profit ignoring the fixed cost (“variable profit”). 3 Check whether it is higher than the fixed cost. If so, go ahead and produce; otherwise shut down or don’t start up.

  20. Monday: How pricing depends on demand Finally see elasticity in action! …and we get some nice qualitative (low data) conclusions: 1. Volume effect: higher volume ⇒ higher price. 2. Price-sensitivity effect: less elastic ⇒ higher price. FPM reading. Chapter 9. Article. “Airlines Hold Back”. Deliverables. Exercise 9.3. (The demand exercise that I sent by email—also on course website under “Extras”— is good preparation.)
