Notes on second-degree price discrimination
... This model can be interpreted as a price-quality model instead, with demand curves for two quality levels by different consumer types. In this case, the profitmaximizing set of price-quality packages will be one that gives Type A consumers a lower quality than they would have been willing to purchas ...

The Effect of International Competition on Firm Productivity and Market Power
... The effect of international integration is not always clear-cut. Tariff reductions will only affect a firm if its product competes with the products that benefit. The relevant market definition, both in terms of product characteristics and geographical distance, is not always known. It is not even n ...

... 1) In the case of a linear demand curve, demand becomes more price elastic as price increases. Answer: True. For a demand curve of the form Q = a - bp, elasticity can be written as -b[p/(a - bp)]. As p increases, the term in square brackets increases, making the elasticity increase. Diff: 1 Topic: S ...

As we know, by definition: total revenue = price × quantity produced or, in abbreviated form: TR = pQ where p = price per unit sold and Q = quantity of output produced. pQ means p × Q. In a competitive market system, firms don' ...

Economic equilibrium
In economics, economic equilibrium is a state where economic forces such as supply and demand are balanced and in the absence of external influences the (equilibrium) values of economic variables will not change. For example, in the standard text-book model of perfect competition, equilibrium occurs at the point at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. Market equilibrium in this case refers to a condition where a market price is established through competition such that the amount of goods or services sought by buyers is equal to the amount of goods or services produced by sellers. This price is often called the competitive price or market clearing price and will tend not to change unless demand or supply changes and the quantity is called ""competitive quantity"" or market clearing quantity.
