问题如下:
Companies most likely have a well-defined supply function when the market structure is:
选项:
A.oligopoly.
B.perfect competition.
C.monopolistic competition.
解释:
B is correct.
A company in a perfectly competitive market must accept whatever price the market dictates. The marginal cost schedule of a company in a perfectly competitive market determines its supply function.
考点:完全竞争市场特性
解析:在四类市场结构中,只有完全竞争市场的需求曲线是可以被定义描述的,它等于MC曲线大于AVC的那一段。
注意到,只有完全竞争厂商才有MR=P所以MC=MR=P, 在MC曲线上, P与产量方能对应。
但是对于其他类型的市场,P≠MR=MC,所以MC上点与产量对应不起来。所以只有完全竞争市场才存在这样的供给曲线。
老师,解析我看明白了,有点疑问的是 为啥一定要用mc上的点来表示供给线啊,根据p的公式p=mr/(1-1/e)画一条供给线不行吗?这样非完全竞争市场也可以定义出来了?
