problems. So we have a situation here high prices cause lower revenues due to lower consumption levels. This is seen in left shift in demand for gas. Larger capacities and high inventories will affect supplies- the supply curve may shift to right/ remain stable. Both situations imply lower prices for gas‚ and more volatile revenues stream. However the demand for gas is inelastic due to the nature of the good itself. This could imply that revenues do not dip as prices rise. However the prices

differ in their demands for a given good or service‚ a firm has market power‚ and the firm can prevent or limit arbitrage. Consider a firm that can sell q(p) units when it charges price p. The firm’s profits are π(p) = pq(p) - c(q( p)) Where c is the cost function‚ function q is the demand facing the firm‚ that is‚ it gives the quantity the firm can sell. In the case of monopoly‚ the demand facing the firm and the market demand are the same. Assume that q is a downward-sloping demand curve. This

Prices James D. Hamilton This paper examines the factors responsible for changes in crude oil prices. The paper reviews the statistical behavior of oil prices‚ relates these to the predictions of theory‚ and looks in detail at key features of petroleum demand and supply. Topics discussed include the role of commodity speculation‚ OPEC‚ and resource depletion. The paper concludes that although scarcity rent made a negligible contribution to the price of oil in 1997‚ it may be an important feature of the

distinct markets. The principle of price elasticity of demand will help elaborating how different pricing tactics are applied to different market segments. What is a Price Elasticity of Demand The demand for a particular good or service varies depending on a number of factors‚ including the levels of consumer income‚ the tastes of consumers‚ the expectations of future price changes‚ and the prices of related goods. As a general rule‚ when other factors on demand remain unchanged‚ a higher price for

In addition‚ an increase in terms of trade may also results in a rise in standard living. Furthermore‚ the effect of an improvement in terms of trade can be changed by the price elasticity of demand because if the goods have inelastic demand‚ then the net revenue increase while elastic demand will worsen the situation. Also‚ However‚ if the export

Market-skimming pricing: two examples came to my mind when I saw this concept‚ Samsung and Apple. As I know that‚ Samsung often set an extremely high price when they release a new cellphone‚ after few
