Market Structure
• Competitive environment for a good or service• Market – all firms and individuals willing and
able to buy or sell a particular product

Factors that determine the level of competition
• Product Differentiation
• Barriers to Entry
• Number of Buyers and Sellers
• Information availability

Perfect Competition
• Large number of buyers and sellers – each firm produces small amount of industry supply and each customer buys a small part of the total.
• Product Homogeneity – Output of each firm is essentially the same.
• Free Entry – firms are not restricted from entering the market.• Perfect Information – costs, prices and quality is know by all
buyers and sellers• Buyers and Sellers are “price takers” as they can’t influence
the price, must take as given (market price). • An Extreme?• Practical Examples?

GE Stock
• Individual has 1000 shares of GE common stock• 9.93 Billion shares outstanding• Value of stock is obtained from broker (or
internet)• Market determines price, can sell or buy as many
as you want at this price.• Can’t sell any above the price or buy any below
the price.• Buyers and Sellers are Price Takers!

Milk Market
• No single buyer can influence price• Seller has little price control as products are
exactly the same as their competition• Can sell all you want at market price – little
incentive to charge less – charge more buyers substitute
• Buyers and sellers take market price as given• Entry and Exit?

The Market Price in Perfect Competition
• Industry Supply and Industry Demand
• Individuals and firms have no control
• Sum supply and demand for all firms and all consumers to get industry

• Supply shift very small.
• Equilibrium price increases.
• However, price increase is so small (e.g., 1/10 penny) that it is not noticed in the market.

The Price Output Decision for a Firm under Perfect Competition
• Profit Max requires that MR = MC• Under PC price is constant (market price)• MR = P• AR = MR if price is constant (AR = TR/Q =
P*Q/Q = P)• Profit Max: P = MR = AR = MC• Firms have horizontal demand curve• Think about GE stock example!

Under PC demand curve is basically flat, price is not a function of output. Firms are price takers. Higher price, no demand

Profit Maximizing in Perfect Competition
• MR = MC: • MR>MC – produce more, • MR<MC -produce less• Market Price is constant – price taker
(horizontal line)• If price is constant then AR=MR=P• So we can say profit is maximized where
MR = MC = P = AR • MC curve is the firms supply curve!

In the Long Run …
• Positive Economic Profits (above normal rate of return – shaded area on pervious graph) attract competitors (free firm entry)
• Expanding supply pushes prices down• Expanding supply pushes costs of inputs up• Long-Run equilibrium: all economic profits and
losses have been eliminated for each firm in the industry
• Only receiving “normal rate of return” that is included in economic costs (opportunity cost)

The Long Run Graph
• P = MR = AR = ATC – no economic profits or losses
• Prices fall from SR and ATC increases from SR• No firms enter or exit• Prices are stable• Each firm is operating at minimum ATC• Shareholders get adequate rate of return based on
risk (and that is all).

Monopoly Price and Output
• MR = MC for profit maximization
• Since demand curve is not horizontal, MR is not equal to price (except first output)
• MR < Price = AR = Demand Curve
• MR = MC simultaneously determines output and price

Monopoly Price and Quantity
• TR = P*Q• Output Effect: increase output increase revenue • Same as Perfect Competition• Price Effect: Monopolist sells one more unit, he
must lower price. This will lower revenue.• For a monopolist output is a function of price,
not true for perfect competition (no price effect under PC)
