We typically focus on firms from well-developed economies entering markets of less developed economies. Do firms from less developed economies have a chance of success if they enter developed markets, such as the United States? What competitive advantage could a firm from a less developed economy rely on in entering developed markets? What would likely be the best entry mode?
Based on market research, a film production company in Ectenia obtains the following information about the demand and production costs of its new
DVD:
Demand:
P= 1,200 - 10Q
Total Revenue:
TR = 1,2000 - 10Q
Marginal Revenue: MR 1,200 - 200
Marginal Cost:
MC = 300 + 100
where Q indicates the number of copies sold and Pis the price in Ectenian dollars.

- Give a discussion from the economies of scale perspective on the statement “trade need not be the result of comparative advantage”. And derive the relationship between the number of firms (n) and the price each firm charges (P) for the model of monopolistic competition.

Suppose that the Thunder faces an extra fixed cost of 10000 in Seattle because they need to build a new stadium if they move. If the Thunder decides to stay in Oklahoma City, they don't need to pay the fixed cost.

Suppose that Colombia and Brazil both have the same marginal cost, MCC=20 + 120qc and MCB=20 + 120qB. There are also many smaller coffee producing nations that operate competitively. Suppose that after substracting supply of these smaller nations from global demand, the remaining demand is P= 720-20Q which implies that MR=720-4OQ :Determine the optimal quantity of coffee that Columbia and Brazil should each produce and the global market price they should establish if they collude (you can think of the price being for a 100 kilogram bag of raw coffee beans).arrow_forwardSuppose the graph depicts the marginal cost (MC) curves of two profit maximizing Texas cotton farmers, Jesse and Neal.

F2, after observing the quantity chosen by F chooses its own quantity q2. Finally F3, after observing the quantities chosen by F, and F, chooses its own quantity q3. a) Determine the output levels that will be produced in a Stackelberg -Nash equilibrium 91 = 93 = b) Determine the price level in such an equilibrium P= c) Determine the profit levels in such an equilibrium U1 = uz=arrow_forwardThe auto industry in the U.S. has long been dominated by the Big Three carmakers: Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. The auto industry in China, on the other hand, has more than 170 carmakers.

Based on these differences in market characteristics, explain how car makers in the U.S. will “behave” compared to carmakers in China. In particular, address the following considerations: How will carmakers in the U.S. respond to consumers’ desires compared to Chinese carmakers’ response to consumers’ desires, everything else being equal?arrow_forward
