<Lecture 11> 6. Production We have so far focused on the demand side of the market behaviour of consumers. Now we turn to the supply side and examine the behaviour of producers. The production decisions of firms are analogous to the purchasing decis

<Lecture 12> 6. Production Q1. Isoquants can be convex, linear, or L-shaped. What does each of these shapes tell you about the nature of the production function? What does each of these shapes tell you about the MRTS? Convex isoquants imply that with

<Lecture 13> 7. The Cost of Production In the last two classes, we examined the firm's production technology the relationship that shows how factor inputs can be transformed into outputs. Now we will see how the production technology, together with

<Lecture 14> 7. The Cost of Production Q1. Suppose that a firm's production function is q = 10L1/2K1/2. The cost of a unit of labor is $20 and the cost of a unit of capital is $80. a. The firm is currently producing 100 units of output, and has deter

<Lecture 17> 16. General Equilibrium and Economic Efficiency So far we have analysed how - a rational consumer behaves given any fixed prices and income - a profit-maximizing firm behaves given any fixed prices of inputs, prices of outputs and techno

<Lecture 18> 17. Markets with Asymmetric Information We have so far assumed that consumers and producers have complete information about the economic variables that are relevant for the choices they face. Now we will see what happens when some partie

<Lecture 26> 12. Oligopoly We have assumed that our two duopolists make their output decisions at the same time. Now let's see what happens if one of the firms can set its output first. Stackelberg Model Duopoly Example: Oligopoly model in which one
USC - ECON - 4010
<Lecture 27> 12. Oligopoly Cournot Model, Stackelberg Model, and Bertrand Model Q1. Two firms have constant marginal costs MC1 = 1/2 and MC2 = 2. If they choose outputs, they face inverse demand functions P1 = 5 Q1 (1/2)Q2 and P2 = 5 Q2 (1/2)Q1.
