CHAPTER D4. OLIGOPOLISTIC COMPETITION Oligopolistic competition, perhaps the most common form of Western industrial and commercial market structure, is the one for which the least standard analytical specification exists. The oligopolist's demand curve likely will be of somewhat steeper downward slope than that of the monopolistic competitor, and it may account for some fraction of the total market demand that is greater or less than 1/n if there are n firms in the market. Oligopolistic industries are populated by firms which range in size from the corner gas station to the mega-buck corporation. facweb.furman.edu /~dstanford/mecon/d4.htm   (6046 words)

Europa/Competition/OLIGOPOLISTIC DOMINANCE There is not a definitely established approach to the analysis of oligopolies in economic literature (1), and competition authorities in the EU and elsewhere have not been prolific in publishing general guidelines on these point (2). The perspective of analysis in cases of oligopolistic dominance is necessarily different since the members of the oligopoly are by assumption capable of exerting such a constraint on each other. There is though an important difference in that in cases of oligopolistic dominance, powerful and concentrated customers might be able to force their suppliers to compete or to provide a sufficient incentive for a member of the oligopoly to deviate from parallel behaviour. europa.eu.int /comm/competition/speeches/text/sp1995_036_en.html   (8317 words)

Oligopoly An oligopolist faces a downward sloping demand curve but the elasticity may depend on the reaction of rivals to changes in price and output. This means that the  demand curve for the oligopolist is not straight. Oligopolistic supply, corresponding to a monopsony, is an oligopsony. moneyterms.co.uk /oligopoly   (429 words)

The Arthritic Hand of Oligopoly If a city only has two commercial bakeries or three radio stations these firms would enjoy economic power stemming from market share, although their small absolute size might not be much of a barrier to potential competitors. Oligopolistic firms that operate on a national or global scale are also huge in another sense - they are just plain big. Note that even in a world of innovative big firms held in check by their equally oligopolistic customers and their powerful unions, we still have to keep our guard up - since corporate power to manipulate consumers and to impose corporate values on modern society is growing. distance-ed.bcc.ctc.edu /econ100/ksttext/oligoply/oligoply.htm   (10105 words)

Last check: 2007-11-04) The countries chosen are Australia, an industrialised importer of manufactures, Japan, an industrialised exporter, the Philippines, a developing importer, and the Republic of Korea, a developing exporter. In each case the manufacturing sector is characterised as comprising nine separate industries, each with identical oligopolistic firms producing homogeneous goods which are differentiated from competing imports. The economies are subjected to exogenous shocks, which include trade reforms, increased surveillance of pricing behaviour, technological change and shifts in the terms of trade. eprints.anu.edu.au /archive/00002660   (274 words)

SSRN-Consumer Cognition and Pricing in the 9's in Oligopolistic Markets by Kaushik Basu The paper fully characterizes the Bertrand equilibria of oligopolistic markets where consumers may ignore the last (i.e. It is shown that in this setting there will always exist firms that set prices that end in nine though there may also be some (non-strict) equilibria where a non-nine price ending occurs. The model helps us understand in what kinds of markets we are most likely to encounter pricing in the 9's. papers.ssrn.com /sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=634722   (261 words)

SSRN-Oligopolistic Competition, Technology Innovation, and Multiproduct Firms by Jiandong Ju Such a market structure would require a full-fledged oligopolistic competition model, which is the purpose of this paper. In a symmetric equilibrium, we show that the oligopolist tends to charge less when the market is less differentiated and more when the oligopolist has more market power. The number of products produced by each firm increases as the marginal proliferation cost decreases and tends to infinity as the marginal proliferation cost is vanishing. papers.ssrn.com /sol3/Delivery.cfm/...?abstractid=298722&mirid=1   (393 words)

CEPR Discussion Paper Abstracts Knickerbocker (1973) introduced ‘oligopolistic reaction’ to explain why firms follow rivals into foreign markets. We develop a model that incorporates central features of Knickerbocker's story-oligopoly, uncertainty, and risk aversion-to establish the conditions required to generate follow-the-leader behaviour. We show that the Knickerbocker prediction relies on risk aversion and derive an expression for the minimum amount of risk aversion needed to generate oligopolistic reaction. www.cepr.org /Pubs/new-dps/dplist.asp?dpno=3327   (203 words)

The AHC Responds to Health Care Reform   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) James C. Cubbin, J.D. Robert D. Moroni, C.P.A., M.B.A. The challenges faced by the health care industry today are strikingly similar to those of General Motors and the domestic auto industry. For years, U.S. automakers, due to some degree of oligopolistic advantage, were able to operate as "cost plus" businesses, despite a general lack of customer focus and non-competitive practices. As Japanese competitors entered the market and offered customers lower cost and higher quality alternatives, the U.S. manufacturers found themselves losing market share and billions of dollars. conferences.mc.duke.edu /privatesector/dpsc1996/views.htm   (3047 words)
