entry into these industries is largely unrestricted by government’s rules and regulations. One example of an MPC firm is the hawker stall. The set-up cost including the rental cost is low and due to the small-scale production of food‚ there is limited scope for EOS that act as a BTE. This weak BTE gives rise to the large number of hawker stalls being set up. With so many hawker stalls present‚ each hawker stall has a relative small share of the total food market. Thus‚ each hawker stall has only

firms must believe the firm who made the investment will‚ indeed‚ alter their future behavior. The key to the credibility of the firm’s strategic commitment is irreversibility. If a firm could recover the cost of its strategic commitment after it was set in motion‚ much credibility would be lost. Therefore‚ the higher the proportion of an investment that is sunk‚ the more likely that investment would serve as a strategic commitment. 3. Explain why prices are usually strategic complements and capacities

In other words‚ if only 17% of the humans in a market are making irrational decisions‚ then those ECON 001 SAQUICELA !1 decisions are not going to have a big impact on the level of rationality of the market.
