Explanation of Solution

Partial equilibrium analysis is one which deals with the supply and demand interactions in a single market. However, in a partial analysis, the impact of changes in one market on the interrelated markets is ignored. On the other hand, a general equilibrium analysis is concerned with the impact of the whole markets which are interrelated. In reality, the changes in the price and quantity of one market influence the price and quantity of other markets. The feedback effects can lead to an accurate forecast in the related market for goods. When the feedback effects are ignored, it may lead to inaccurate predictions. For example, consider a change in the demand in a primary market. This may induce changes in the related markets. Hence, the price and quantity of other markets may also change. When the analysis is only partial, the initial changes in the primary market would only be considered and under the general equilibrium analysis, the overall changes in the related markets would be considered, taking into account the feedback effects.

Economics Concept Introduction

General equilibrium analysis: The general equilibrium analysis is the determination of equilibrium in all the related markets, when the simultaneous equilibrium is determined by considering the feedback effects.

Partial equilibrium analysis: The partial equilibrium analysis is done when the equilibrium in a single market is determined without consideration of the feedback effects.

2. a) Consider a market where one firm (firm 1) currently produces, but a second firm (firm 2) is intending to enter and sell an identical product. The market has inverse demand given by p = 40 – Q, where Q is the total output sold in the market. Firm 1 has a marginal cost of 16 and firm 2 has a marginal cost of c < 16, with no fixed cost for either firm. Firm 2 has a choice of competing on price or quantity, with firms making their choices simultaneously (i.e. the market will be either a Bertrand or Cournot duopoly). If you were advising firm 2 on entering this market, how would you advise it to compete? To what extent would the size of firm 2’s cost advantage affect your advice?  b) Now assume that firm 2 is aware that other firms are considering entering the market, so the market may over time change from a duopoly to an oligopoly with more than two firms. This would not change the nature of competition (i.e. any additional firms would set price or quantity in line with the first…
