Consider a hypothetical firm operating in a hypothetical market
that you imagine. Name your firm as “A,” the others as “B”,
“C”, “D”, ...
Measure the market structure by assigning hypothetical market
shares to your firm and rival firms. Explain the concentration
level in the market.
Measure the industry-wide market power by assigning hypothetical
price and cost information (please keep the market share
information on question #2).
Write down the cost function of your firm. Derive, average, and
marginal costs (please check that marginal cost is the same in
question #3).
Does your firm exploit economies of scale or economies of scope
or both? Show how by relying on your cost function in question
#4?
(For this question, assume that your firm is a monopoly) Do you
make price discrimination? Which type? Is it profitable rather than
applying a uniform price? Please show by defining hypothetical
demand functions (keep your cost function on question #4).
(For this question, assume that your firm is a monopoly) What
type of product differentiation do you apply? Vertical or
horizontal? Please explain on a hypothetical demand curve (keep
your cost function on question #4, develop it in case of vertical
differentiation)
