Oligopoly Characteristics Oligopoly is the main form of modern market structure. The term "oligopoly" is used to define a market in which there are few companies‚ some of which control a large share of the market. In the oligopoly industry some major companies compete among themselves and the introduction of new firms on this market is complicated‚ because of the presence of barriers to entry. Products manufactured by firms can be both homogeneous and/or differentiated. Homogeneous products have

ESSAY EVOLUTIONARY THEORY AND THE ORIGIN OF PROPERTY RIGHTS James E. Krier † For legal scholars‚ the evolution of property rights has been a topic in search of a theory. My aim here is to draw together various accounts (some of them largely neglected in the legal literature)‚ from dated to modern‚ and suggest a way they can be melded into a plausible explanation of property’s genesis and early development. What results hardly amounts to a theory‚ but it does suggest an outline for one. Moreover

War What is it good for? ‘If we don’t end war‚ war will end us.’ – H.G Wells ‘The father of science fiction’. People have differing opinions about war. Some people believe you can begin and end one without any unnecessary bloodshed‚ however there is not enough evidence to suggest this and I would go as far to say that the inverse is true. In the 10‚000 years settled humans have been on the planet‚ war has always occurred. We cannot officially know when it started and no one will know when it

‚ Case #1: the turbine generator industry The default prediction that we’d make using economic theory (or common sense) in the absence of game theory is that‚ in the turbine generator case‚ General Electric should have undercut Westinghouse because the former has lower costs. But we start to see why it didn ’t when we introduce capacity constraints into the Bertrand model. Capacity constraints can stem from two things: decreasing returns to scale‚ or demand-uncertainties that create expected

before turning to a discussion as to which strategy NS will actually choose. Given the above analysis the paper will briefly address what Holland Sweetener Company’s entry strategy should be. There are several industry factors that will affect how this game is played. First‚ the two versions of aspartame‚ as produced by HSC and NS‚ are relatively identical goods. This leaves the consumer indifferent to product attributes and only concerned with price. It is also assumed that geography is not a real strategic

Abstract This experiment involves a social dilemma‚ where participants had to choose whether or not to betray their partner. In 1950‚ while researching game theory‚ Flood & Dresher devised a model‚ that Albert Tucker later interpreted and named the Prisoners Dilemma. The participant receives a high reward of they betray their partner and their partner does not betray them‚ a medium reward if they and their partner both don’t betray each other‚ and no reward if they both betray each other. In Tuckers
