Market Power: Monopoly and Monopsony
... Therefore, as demand becomes more elastic (Ed becomes more negative), the markup percentage becomes smaller. For example, if Ed changes from 2 to 5, the markup decreases from 0.5 to 0.2. This tells us that the firm has less power to mark up its price above marginal cost when it faces a more elasti ...

... The effect of one good’s prices on the demand for another good is the cross-price elasticity, and with the particular utility function we are using here, that cross-price elasticity is zero. Typically, however, a change in the price of one good will affect demand for other goods as well. Public Fi ...

Bertrand Equilibrium with Increasing Marginal Costs
... In the equilibrium both firms name P＝ PE and obtain the demand D(PE)/2. Suppose that firm 1 raises its price.→The profit is zero, so it has no incentive for raising its price. Suppose that firm 1 reduces its price. →It obtains the demand D(P1). Since PE =C1'(D(PE)/2), the profit is maximized given t ...
