Competition

Firm Supply
How does a firm decide how much to supply at a given price? This depends upon the firm’s
– goals;
– technology;
– market environment; and
– competitors’ behaviour.
![Page 3: Lecture13 copy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54795f6f5806b55d048b468f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Market Environment
Are there many other firms? How do other firms’ decisions effect
the firm’s payoffs?
![Page 4: Lecture13 copy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54795f6f5806b55d048b468f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Market Environment
Monopoly: Just one seller that determines the quantity supplied/the market-clearing price.
Oligopoly: A very small number of firms, the decision of each influencing the payoffs of the other firms.
![Page 5: Lecture13 copy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54795f6f5806b55d048b468f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Market Environment
Dominant Firm: Many firms, but one much larger than the rest. The large firm’s decisions affect the payoffs of each small firm. Decisions by any one small firm do not noticeably effect the payoffs of any other firm.
![Page 6: Lecture13 copy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54795f6f5806b55d048b468f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Market Environment
Monopolistic Competition: Many firms each making a slightly different product. Each firm’s output level is small relative to the total.
Perfect Competition: Many firms, all making the same product. Each firm’s output level is very small relative to the total output level.

Perfect Competition Assumptions
There are many buyers and sellers,
–each firm is a price-taker Homogeneous product Freedom of entry and exit Perfect information

The Firm’s Long-Run Supply Decision?
The long-run is the circumstance in which the firm can choose amongst all of its short-run circumstances.
How does the firm’s long-run supply decision compare to its short-run supply decisions?

The Firm’s Long-Run Supply Decision?
A competitive firm’s long-run profit function is
The long-run cost c(y) of producing y units of output consists only of variable costs since all inputs are variable in the long-run.

Application: Tax Incidence In Perfect Competition
In the short run, The producers receives less for the
product. Some firms will continue to produce
output at a loss once they are covering their average variable costs.
Some firms will experience losses and so exit the market.
The supply curve shifts to the left and the prices consumers and producers face increases.

Application: Tax Incidence In Perfect Competition
In the Long Run, Consumers pay all of the tax (100%) Producers pay none of tax (0%) There are no firms making losses
