  2. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    Indeed, if everyone is price taker, there is the need for a benevolent planner who gives and sets the prices, in other word, there is a need for a "price maker". Therefore, it makes the perfect competition model appropriate not to describe a decentralized "market" economy but a centralized one.

  3. Market structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_structure

    Perfect competition refers to a type of market where there are many buyers and sellers that feature free barriers to entry, dealing with homogeneous products with no differentiation, where the price is fixed by the market. Individual firms are price takers [3] as the price is set by the industry as a whole. Example: Agricultural products which ...

  4. Market power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_power

    It compares a firm's price of output with its associated marginal cost where marginal cost pricing is the "socially optimal level" achieved in market with perfect competition. [41] Lerner (1934) believes that market power is the monopoly manufacturers' ability to raise prices above their marginal cost. [ 42 ]

  5. Lerner index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lerner_Index

    It means that there was a slight decrease in competition. Then, during 2006–2009, there was a decrease in the Lernex index. In 2010 the Lerner index significantly increased. The mean of the Lerner index computed for the full sample is 53.58 %, which do not confirm either monopoly or perfect competition in the credit market of Czech Republic.

  6. Fundamental theorems of welfare economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorems_of...

    The first states that in economic equilibrium, a set of complete markets, with complete information, and in perfect competition, will be Pareto optimal (in the sense that no further exchange would make one person better off without making another worse off). The requirements for perfect competition are these: [1]

  7. Asymmetric price transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_price_transmission

    Such behaviour, predicted by all canonical industry / market pricing models (perfect competition, monopoly) is called symmetric price transmission. In contrast to symmetric price transmission , asymmetric price transmission is said to exist when the adjustment of prices is not homogeneous with respect to characteristics external or internal to ...

  8. Microeconomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microeconomics

    In microeconomics, it applies to price and output determination for a market with perfect competition, which includes the condition of no buyers or sellers large enough to have price-setting power. For a given market of a commodity , demand is the relation of the quantity that all buyers would be prepared to purchase at each unit price of the good.

  9. Econophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econophysics

    Basic tools of econophysics are probabilistic and statistical methods often taken from statistical physics.. Physics models that have been applied in economics include the kinetic theory of gas (called the kinetic exchange models of markets [7]), percolation models, chaotic models developed to study cardiac arrest, and models with self-organizing criticality as well as other models developed ...
