Ajax produces a multi-headed tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The price charged by Tile King is $20‚000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: ‚000 - 5‚000Q + 100Q2. A. Computer

INTRODUZIONE Le TEORIE DELL’OLIGOPOLIO studiano settori in cui si verificano situazioni intermedie tra le due forme di mercato “pure”‚ CONCORRENZA PERFETTA e MONOPOLIO‚ la cui caratteristica comune‚ che nasce dalla competizione tra un numero limitato di produttori‚ è l’influenza che le scelte di ciascuna impresa determinano sulle scelte delle altre modificandone i profitti; l’analisi in questione consiste quindi nell’attenta ricostruzione dell’interazione che si determina fra tutte le imprese

Market structures Analysis- Term Paper INTRODUCTION Generally the concept of market structures can be essential to marketing and economics. Both emphasize the environment in which these companies operate and its importance it has on strategic decision making. Economics is more concerned about the degree of market competition and the pricing strategies of these firms. Marketing‚ on the other hand‚ concentrates its focus on consumer behaviour. Basically there are four major market structures

the setting of prices. He said the only factors influencing the price in an oligopolistic market were the firms themselves and therefore based his model on the fact that firms set prices rather than output. (Carlton & Perloff 2005) As with the Cournot model‚ the Bertrand model makes some assumptions. There is no market entry limiting the number of firms to two (duopoly) who produce homogenous products in a single period‚ have the same demand curve and set prices simultaneously. These two non-cooperative
