  2. Monopolistic competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolistic_competition

    A short-run monopolistic competition equilibrium graph has the same properties of a monopoly equilibrium graph. Long-run equilibrium of the firm under monopolistic competition. The company still produces where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal; however, the demand curve (MR and AR) has shifted as other companies entered the market ...

  3. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    The maximization of producer surplus can in some cases reduce consumer surplus. [15] Some forms of producer profit maximization are considered anti-competitive practices and are regulated by competition law. [15] Maximization of short-term producer profit can reduce long-term producer profit, which can be exploited by predatory pricing such as ...

  4. Shutdown (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_(economics)

    The optimal quantity of output for the perfect competitor is where marginal cost (MC) equals marginal revenue (MR). In the case depicted, since at this quantity of output average revenue (AR) exceeds average variable cost (not shown, but below average total cost (ATC)), the firm in this situation does not shut down.

  5. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    In a monopoly, marginal revenue (MR) equals marginal cost (MC). The equilibrium quantity is obtained from where MR and MC intersect and the equilibrium price can be found on the demand curve where MR = MC. Property P1 is not satisfied because the amount demand and the amount supplied at the equilibrium price are not equal.

  6. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    Equilibrium in perfect competition is the point where market demands will be equal to market supply. A firm's price will be determined at this point. In the short run, equilibrium will be affected by demand. In the long run, both demand and supply of a product will affect the equilibrium in perfect competition.

  7. Factor market - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_market

    In the product market, profit or cost is defined as a function of output. The equilibrium condition is that MR=MC, i.e. the marginal equality of benefits and costs. Since the goods produced are made up of factors, output is seen as a function of factor in factor markets. [4] The Circular Flow Diagram

  8. Non-price competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-price_competition

    In the kinked demand curve model, the firm will maximize its profits at Q,P where the marginal revenue (MR) is equal to the marginal cost (MC) of the firm. Hence, a change in MC would not necessarily change the market price, implying rather stable and sticky market prices. Long-run equilibrium of the firm under monopolistic competition

  9. Industrial organization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_organization

    One approach is descriptive in providing an overview of industrial organization, such as measures of competition and the size-concentration of firms in an industry. A second approach uses microeconomic models to explain internal firm organization and market strategy, which includes internal research and development along with issues of internal ...
