Aside from advertising, how can monopolistically competitive films increase demand for their products?
Suppose that, due to a successful advertising campaign, a monopolistic competitor experiences an increase in demand for its product. How will that affect the price it charges and the quantity it supplies?
Would you rather have efficiency or variety? That is, one opportunity cost of the variety of products we have is that each product costs more per unit than if there were only one kind of product of a given type, like shoes. Perhaps a better question is, What is the right amount of variety? Can there be too many varieties of shoes, for example?
Suppose the local electrical utility, a legal monopoly based on economies of scale, was split into four films of equal size, with the idea that eliminating the monopoly would promote competitive pricing of electricity. What do you anticipate would happen to prices?
How is intellectual property different from other property?
Intellectual property laws are intended to promote innovation, but some economists, such as Milton Friedman, have argued that such laws are not desirable. In the United States, there is no intellectual property protection for food recipes or for fashion designs. Considering the state of these two industries, and hearing in mind the discussion of the inefficiency of monopolies, can you think of any reasons why intellectual property laws might hinder innovation in some cases?
Why does entry occur?
If the firms in a monopolistically competitive market are earning economic profits or losses in the short run, would you expect them to continue doing so in the long run? Why?
Continuing with the scenario in question 1, in the long run, the positive economic profits that the monopolistic competitor earns will attract a response either from existing firms in the industry or film outside. As those films capture the original films profit, what will happen to the original films profit-maximizing price and output levels?
Think back to a purchase that you made recently. How would you describe your thinking before you made that purchase?
How can a monopolistic competitor tell whether the price it is charging will cause the firm to earn profits or experience losses?
Make a case for why monopolistically competitive industries never reach long-run equilibrium.
