Differences and Similarities between Perfect Competition and Monopolistic Competition

 

Following are the similarities between perfect competition and monopolistic competition. There are large numbers of firms under both market structures. Firm competes with each other and there is freedom of entry and exit from the industry under both market structures. Freedom of entry and exit means no barriers to9 entry or exit. In both market structures the equilibrium is established at a point where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. Firms can earn supernormal profit, normal profit or subnormal profits (losses) in short run under perfect competition as well as under monopolistic competition. In long run under both market structures firm always earn normal profits. Average revenue curve (AR) acts as a demand curve under both market structures.

 

Differences between perfect competition and monopolistic competition is that under perfect competition each firm produce and sell homogeneous products while there is product differentiation under monopolistic competition.

 

Under perfect competition prices are determine by demand and supply forces for the entire industry. Each firm has to sell its product at that price. Thus each firm is the price taker and quantity adjuster. Under monopolistic competition every firm has its own pricing policies.

 

Under perfect competition demand curve (AR) is perfectly elastic and marginal revenue curve (MR) coincides with it. As against this the demand curve (AR) is elastic and downward slopping and its corresponding marginal revenue curve lies below it.

 

As the equilibrium conditions of the two markets situations are same, yet there is difference in price and marginal cost (MC) relationship. Under perfect competition price is equal to average revenue and marginal revenue. P=AR=MR

This is called double equilibrium condition .This is because average revenue curve is horizontal to x axis. Under monopolistic competition price is equal to average revenue but is not equal to marginal revenue rather average revenue is greater than marginal revenue. P = AR > MR

 

In long run competitive firms are of optimum size and produce to their full capacity because Price = LMC = LAC at its minimum. But under monopolistic competition the firms are of less than optimum size and possess excess capacity because average revenue curve (AR) is downward slopping and cannot be tangent to LAC at its minimum.

 

Another difference between perfect competition and monopolistic competition relates to the selling cost. There is no selling problem under perfect competition as products are homogeneous. But under monopolistic competition where products are differentiated selling cost are essential to push up the sales. They are incurring to persuade the buyer to purchase one's product in preference to another through advertisement. There is no advertisement under perfect competition while advertisement is the backbone for monopolistic competition.

Do you think that political and economic competition made the world wars of the 20th century inevitable?

What do you guys think? What kind of political and economic competition was there?
It wasn't really domination, The germans put up a good fight in both wars but ultimately did not have enough resources to fight in the end and had too many casualties.

No, it was domination.

EC Competition Law and Policy $94.95 This book provides a clear overview of the main issues in EC competition law and policy and an up to date text for students and practitioners with an interest in this subject. It is divided into three main parts, looking at the foundations of EC competition law, anti-competition agreements, abuse of dominant position, and the enforcement of EC competition law. The book focuses on the two main Treaty Articles which are concerned with competition law. It aims to provide a structured analysis of the main stages in the application of the EC Treaty rules on competition, assesses the contribution made by the Commission and Community judicature to the evolution of EC competition law, and provides an in-depth analysis of recent developments, in particular the moves towards decentralisation in the field of vertical restraints and in enforcement.

Competition's a Witch $7.99 Prudence Stewart is finally starting to get her witch on. It's been a month since her parents decided to give their magic-deficient daughter a crash course in enchantment by enrolling her in Agatha's Day School for Witches. And sure, Pru's still stuck in Magic for Dummies -- but at least she made the cheerleading squad. Now Prudence has a bigger problem...she walks, talks, and cheers like a mortal. And she's deathly afraid the other witches will catch on. So she vows to give up her old earthly ways: no cell phone, no car, and above all, no dating mortal boys. There's just one hitch to the sitch: Angelo, the megacute mortal-next-door. When he and Prudence meet, sparks fly -- no magic necessary. And breaking Angelo's spell turns out to be the hardest trick of all.

Trade and Competition Policies $46 The OECD Joint Group on Trade and Competition was established in 1996 to help deepen understanding of the complex issues arising at the interface of these two policy domains against a globalising backdrop and explore how best to ensure that both sets of policies are mutually supportive in promoting greater economic efficiency. This publication, the third to arise from Joint Group activities, brings together a series of working papers that Member countries’ trade and competition authorities have considered during the past two years. The objective of the publication is to share with a broader audience the tangible progress made recently by the two communities in the analysis of important issues at the interface between trade and competition policies.

International Competition Policy $40 The opening up of world markets, rapid growth of trade and foreign direct investment create manifold problems for competition policy. Thus, international mergers may have adverse effects on many countries, international cartels may carve up world markets and dominant firms may seek to maintain their global position by exclusionary conduct. These problems have been recognised for more than half a century and some attempts have been made internationally to address them, so far with limited success. This progressive new book seeks to explore the problems and concerns that globalisation has created for competition policy.

Restructuring Public Utilities for Competition $67 Public utility industries, once regarded as monolithic monopolies, in fact are made up of many separate activities, many of which can sustain effective competition. Experience shows that introducing competition into these industries leads to enhanced efficiency and greater innovation as well as benefits for consumers such as lower prices, better service and greater variety. But owners of bottleneck facilities are often in a position to restrict or limit the growth of competition. There is a growing realisation that fundamental structural changes are often necessary if the full benefits of competition are to be achieved for users and consumers. This publication explores the nature and impact of rules which affect the structure of public utility industries. It covers not only the theory behind different forms of separation but also practical experience in a wide variety of countries and sectors. It also contains the new OECD Recommendation on Structural Separation of Regulated Industries, which urges Member countries to consider separating the monopoly and the competitive parts of regulated industries, especially during the process of privatisation or liberalisation. Sectors covered: Railways Electricity Postal Services Telecommunications Gas Air services Maritime transport

Port Competition and Hinterland Connections $87 This Round Table publication discusses the policy and regulatory challenges posed by the rapidly changing port environment. The sector has changed tremendously in recent decades with technological and organisational innovation and a powerful expansion of trade. Although ports serve hinterlands that now run deep into continents, competition among ports is increasingly intense and their bargaining power in the supply chain has consequently weakened. Greater port throughput is meeting with increasing resistance from local communities because of pollution and congestion. In addition, local regulation is warranted but made difficult by the distribution of bargaining power among stakeholders. Higher-level authorities could develop more effective policies.

Competition Law and Regulation in European Telecommunications $82 Using numerous practical examples,this book examines the evolution of EC telecommunications law following the achievement of liberalisation, the main policy goal of the 1990s. After reviewing the development of regulation in the run-up to liberalisation, the author identifies the methods used to direct the liberalisation process and tests their validity in the post-liberalisation context. A critical analysis is made of the claim that competition law will offer sufficient means to regulate the sector in the future. Particular emphasis is given to the way in which EC Competition Law changed in the 1990s using the essential facilities doctrine, an expansive non-discrimination principle and the policing of cross-subsidisation to tackle what were then thought of as regulatory matters. Also examined within the work is the procedural and institutional interplay between competition law and telecommunications regulation. In conclusion, Larouche explores the limits of competition law and puts forward a long-term case for sector-specific regulation, with a precise mandate to ensure that the telecommunications sector as a whole fulfils its role as a foundation for economic and social activity.

The International Dimension of Eu Competition Law and Policy (Hardcover) $123.52 "Modern competition law was first employed by countries over one hundred years ago in order to address issues relating to restrictions of trade at the national level. Recent international economic integration has weakened the distinction between the domestic and the international in several fields of economic activity, and consequently the laws which regulate such activity, competition law included. Several attempts to address the paradox of adopting national competition rules to address international issues have been made at the international, regional and (lately) bilateral levels. This book discusses the international dimension of EU competition law, and examines the position taken by the EU in four distinct categories of international agreements which are devoted to competition or include competition provisions. In particular, it analyses the EU`s position with regard to bilateral enforcement cooperation agreements, bilateral free trade agreements, plurilateral-regional agreements and the long negotiations for the adoption of a multilateral competition regime"--

European Competition Law Annual 2000 $130 The European Competition Law Annual 2000 is fifth in a series of volumes following the annual Workshops on EU Competition Law and Policy held at the Robert Schuman Centre of the European University in Florence. The present volume reproduces the materials of a roundtable debate that took place at the EUI in June 2000 among senior representatives of EU institutions,renowned academics and international legal experts in the field of antitrust on the proposals made by the European Commission for the reform and decentralisation of EC antitrust enforcement. The contributions and commentaries included in this volume address in particular the following issues: a) the compatibility of the Commission’s reform proposal with the provisions of the EC Treaty, b) how to ensure coherence, efficiency and legal certainty in a decentralised system of implementing EC antitrust provisions, and c) the problems posed by the Commission’s reform proposal for the judiciary. This publication is addressed to scholars, legal practitioners and representatives of the business community following the on-going process of reform of EC antitrust.

Global Competition Law and Economics (Paperback) $90.54 Global markets have made antitrust law global as well. With mergers requiring approval in multiple jurisdictions, cartels in one nation affecting supply in others, and countries entering into treaties about the content or enforcement of competition laws, firms and antitrust lawyers no longer have the luxury of considering only the antitrust regulations of one nation. Antitrust law worldwide is also increasingly economic in its approach to analysing antitrust and competition policy.In the four yearssince the first edition, the globalization of antitrust law has continued apace. China has adopted an antitrust law. The EU has adopted a new Treaty, new guidelines on non-horizontal mergers, new regulations and guidelines on vertical agreements, and a Guidance Paper on abuses of dominance. In the US there have been important new Supreme Court cases (the 2009 Linkline and 2010 American Needle decisions) and the incorporation of modern economic approaches in the revised 2010 U.S. Merger Guidelines. This edition addresses new developments not only in the US and EU, but also in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, South Africa, and South Korea. It also expands its coverage to add not only China`s new antitrust law, but also the antitrust laws of Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, India, Indonesia, New Zealand, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Venezuela.This is the most global and economically sophisticated antitrust casebook on the market. Addressed to students from all jurisdictions having competition laws, it will also serve as a useful reference for practitioners, competition officials, and policy-makers interested in competition law anywhere in the world.
