GOALS…
• Understand the four market structures1. Perfectly competitive market2. Monopoly3. Oligopoly4. Monopolistic Competition
• Be aware of the pricing and output decisions of firms operating in each structure
![Page 3: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
MARKET STRUCTURE …
• BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT in which the firm operates, the characteristics of which influence the PRICING and OUTPUT decisions of the firm.
![Page 4: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Market Structure• Characteristics of each model:
– Number and size of firms that make up the industry
– Control over price or output– Freedom of entry and exit from the industry– Nature of the product – degree of homogeneity (similarity)
of the products in the industry (extent to which products can be regarded as substitutes for each other)
– Diagrammatic representation – the shape of the demand curve, etc.
![Page 5: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Market Structure• Market structure – identifies how a market
is made up in terms of:– The number of firms in the industry– The nature of the product produced– The degree of monopoly power each firm has– The degree to which the firm can influence price– Profit levels– Firms’ behaviour – pricing strategies, non-price competition, output
levels – The extent of barriers to entry– The impact on efficiency
![Page 6: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Market Structure
Characteristics: Look at these everyday products – what type of market structure are the producers of these products operating in?
Remember to think about the nature of the product, entry and exit, behaviour of the firms, number and size of the firms in the industry.
You might even have to ask what the industry is??

What is a Market?
• A market is any one of a variety of different systems, institutions, procedures, social relations and infrastructures whereby persons trade, and goods and services are exchanged, forming part of the economy. It is an arrangement that allows buyers and sellers to exchange things.

• In mainstream economics, the concept of a market is any structure that allows buyers and sellers to exchange any type of goods, services and information.
• The exchange of goods or services for money is a transaction. Market participants consist of all the buyers and sellers of a good who influence its price.
• There are two roles in markets, buyers and sellers. • The market facilitates trade and enables the
distribution and allocation of resources in a society.

4 Major Market Structures:
• Monopoly• Oligopoly• Monopolistic Competition• Pure or Perfect Competition

KINDS
OF
COMPETITION
![Page 19: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Competition• Is a process of seeking or struggling for a
common thing or position.• Example: “Mcdo vs. Jollibee”, Coke vs. Pepsi,
etc.• There are two kinds of Competition: Healthy
and Unhealthy.• It will be determined by the process, tactics or
strategies used in achieving the goal or objective.
![Page 20: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Competition in Business
Advantages - It leads to the improvement of the product
for sale. - Competition keeps price low. - The presence of other firms may lead to an
introduction of new products and services.
![Page 21: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Unhealthy Competition
• When positive, legal and clean procedures, ways or strategies are used in attaining a goal where this would lead to the total development of all the aspects of an individual.
Healthy Competition
• Using dirty tactics, illegal means and negative processes are used to win like corrupting other people, resorting to violence, etc.
• This can lead to destruction and mayhem.
![Page 22: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Perfect Competition• This is an ideal market structure because it
possesses the many conditions or assumptions that should be seen in a perfect competitive market like the following:
- Many buyers and sellers - Selling of similar/ homogeneous products - Full knowledge among buyers and sellers
about the market conditions - Mobility among the factors of production - Freedom for the producers to enter or leave the
country
![Page 23: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Imperfect Competition• It is easier to find pure competition that perfect
competition in our economy because it is very hard to follow all the conditions that have been explained above. But if we are not too strict in applying the conditions, we may find pure competition in rice industry.
• If the conditions are not followed our economy could be considered as IMPERFECT COMPETITIVE.
• Its is divided in three parts: monopoly, oligopoly and monopolistic competition
![Page 24: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MONOPOLY
• “The Absence of Competition”• This is the production of a certain or service like no
other and without any product competing against it.
• There is no competitions so the producer may dictate the prices but maybe controlled by the govt. and set up large factories/plants.
• No product can compete with their product or service since there is no close substitute.
![Page 25: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION
1. There are many buyers and sellers2. Each firm produces and sells a slightly
differentiated product3. There is easy entry and exit
![Page 26: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Oligopoly
• “Competition Among the Few”• Few join this competition• They can connive and conspire so that they
can dictate the price and control the market so that they can raise the profits in industry.
• Oligopolists can produce identical or differentiated products.
![Page 27: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Monopolistic Competition
• Includes many sellers and buyers but he products being sold and bought are similar.
• Differentiated products are products that differ somewhat in real qualities brought about by fashion, color, style, brand names, patents and others.
![Page 28: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
FEATURES…DESCRIPTIONS…
ATTRIBUTES…TRAITS…
![Page 29: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
MANY BUYERS & SELLERS…
Many buyers
Many sellers
![Page 31: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
HOMOGENEOUS GOOD
FARMERS PRODUCE SIMILAR APPLES, LEMONS AND BEEF
MEATS
![Page 32: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
SELLERS & BUYERS ARE WELL INFORMED
ABOUT PRICES…SOURCES OF SUPPLY & QUALITY
![Page 33: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
EASE OF ENTRY & EXIT OF FIRMS
NEW BUSINESS CAN BE SET UP AT ANYTIME …no barrier or hindrance to
enter into the industry as long as one has the ability and the capacity.
At the same time, NO LOVE LOST FOR BUSINESS WHICH DECIDES TO EXIT
OR LEAVE …
![Page 34: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
SO…
• If there are many sellers & there are many buyers…there is competition among sellers & no one seller or buyer can influence the price of the good
• The COMPETITIVE firms are PRICE TAKERS
![Page 35: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

SHOULD YOU OPEN FOR LUNCH OR
SHOULD YOU OPEN FOR DINNER ONLY???
![Page 38: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

LUNCH…TO OPEN OR NOT• Keep in mind the distinction between fixed ( rent, kitchen equipment, tables, etc) and variable costs (food & wages)
• Variable costs matter/are relevant rather than the fixed costs
![Page 40: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
LUNCH…TO OPEN OR NOT• IF THE REVENUE FROM FEW LUNCHTIME CUSTOMERS ARE ENOUGH TO COVER THE VARIABLE COST THEN IT SHOULD OPEN
![Page 41: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Dealing with losses
• TR > TVC, then the firm should keep producing
• TR < TVC, then the firm should shut down (temporarily closed)
• TR = TVC, the firm should be indifferent between shutting down and producing

MONOPOLY
1. There is only one seller2. The single seller sells a product for which
there are no close substitutes3. There are extremely high barriers to entry
– Legal barriers– Economies of scale (low unit cost)– Exclusive ownership of necessary resource
![Page 52: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

SELL HOMOGENEOUS OR DIFFERENTIATED GOOD
![Page 55: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
CONTROL OVER PRICE BUT MUTUAL INTERDEPENDENCE
• Few oligopolistic firms are price maker
• Consider how its rival will react to any change in price, output, quality or advertising
• Characterized by strategic behavior (self-interest) and mutual interdependence (compete or collude)
![Page 56: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

OLIGOPOLY
1. There are few sellers and many buyers2. Firms produce and sell either homogeneous
or differentiated products3. Some control over the price but mutual
interdependence4. There are significant barriers to entry such
as patent rights, legal barriers etc
![Page 58: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
It is the combination of monopoly and competitive markets but monopolistically competitive industries
Are more competitive than monopolistic.
![Page 59: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
RELATIVELY LARGE NUMBER OF SELLERS AND BUYERS
• Small market shares• No collusion (agreement, conspiracy
among the firms)• Independent actions about price &
quantity
![Page 60: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
SELLS DIFFERENTIATED PRODUCTS (Real or imagined)
• Product attributes• Service• Location• Brand names & packaging• Some control over price
PROMOTED BY HEAVY ADVERTISING
![Page 61: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
DIFFERENT…in terms of product attributes
• Product attributes – functions, materials, design & workmanship

BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT
• Monopolistically competitive firms have some control over price
• Consumers buy product which they prefer and can afford
• But control over price is limited because of many substitutes
![Page 68: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
EASY ENTRY AND EXIT
Because competitors are small firms, Economies of scale are few andCapital requirements are low.
![Page 69: Lesson 11-Market Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5477f3f3b4af9fe27a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
WHY advertise???
The goal of product Differentiation and advertising is
