THE MODEL OF PERFECT COMPETITION
Dr Arifa Saeed
PERFECT COMPETITION - AN IDEAL
 Firms are primarily distinguished from each other by
the degree of competition they face:
Profit maximization.
The Model of Perfect Competition.
Allocative and Productive efficiencies.
Long-run costs and adjustments
Perfect
Competition Monopoly
Monopolistic
Competition
Oligopoly
PROFIT MAXIMIZING RULE
 No matter what kind of firm we are
talking about, they will max. profit when:
Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost
(MR) (MC)
 If MR > MC, you are foregoing profit.
 If MR < MC, you are foregoing profit.
PERFECT COMPETITION
 All goods are identical.
--One cannot be (usefully) distinguished from another.
 Many buyers and sellers.
--No one can affect price through their actions.
 There are no barriers to entry/exit.
--Firms cannot earn economic profit in the long run.
 Buyers & sellers have perfect information.
--A single price will prevail in the market.
PERFECT COMPETITION
 Market price = price to the firm = MR
(This is the “demand” for the firm’s output & is perfectly elastic.)

PERFECT COMPETITION
How can we tell if a firm
makes a profit?
Calculate:
Total Revenue = P•q*
& Total Cost = ATC •q*
Econ Profit = TR - TC

MR = d

SCENARIO #1 - POSITIVE PROFIT
The ATC must be less than the price,
so that calculated profit is positive.

SCENARIO #2 - ZERO ECON

The ATC must be equal to the price, so
that calculated profit is zero.

SCENARIO #3 - NEGATIVE PROFIT
II:
THE SHUTDOWN POINT
The firm will shut down, right away, if the
Price (MR) is less than the AVC…
or, if the total loss > fixed costs

PERFECT COMPETITION & EFFICIENCY
Allocative Efficiency (What to produce?)
Productive Efficiency (How to produce?)
occurs when Price = Marginal Cost
Why ?
occurs where output level is at the
minimum ATC
Why ?
PERFECT COMPETITION & EFFICIENCY
Perfectly competitive firms are always Allocatively Efficient
Perfectly competitive
firms always charge a
price = MC. Why?

In the LR, perfectly
competitive firms produce

We know that in SR, firms can earn a positive,
or negative, economic profit.

the model of the perfect competition.ppt

  • 1. THE MODEL OF PERFECT COMPETITION Dr Arifa Saeed
  • 2. PERFECT COMPETITION - AN IDEAL  Firms are primarily distinguished from each other by the degree of competition they face: Profit maximization. The Model of Perfect Competition. Allocative and Productive efficiencies. Long-run costs and adjustments Perfect Competition Monopoly Monopolistic Competition Oligopoly
  • 3. PROFIT MAXIMIZING RULE  No matter what kind of firm we are talking about, they will max. profit when: Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost (MR) (MC)  If MR > MC, you are foregoing profit.  If MR < MC, you are foregoing profit.
  • 4. PERFECT COMPETITION  All goods are identical. --One cannot be (usefully) distinguished from another.  Many buyers and sellers. --No one can affect price through their actions.  There are no barriers to entry/exit. --Firms cannot earn economic profit in the long run.  Buyers & sellers have perfect information. --A single price will prevail in the market.
  • 5. PERFECT COMPETITION  Market price = price to the firm = MR (This is the “demand” for the firm’s output & is perfectly elastic.) MC q* Q Qe Pe P S D $ Pe = MR = d q A Firm The Market q1 q2
  • 6. PERFECT COMPETITION How can we tell if a firm makes a profit? Calculate: Total Revenue = P•q* & Total Cost = ATC •q* Econ Profit = TR - TC $ MR = d q A Firm Pe MC q* ATC
  • 7. SCENARIO #1 - POSITIVE PROFIT The ATC must be less than the price, so that calculated profit is positive. $ MR = d q A Firm Pe MC q* ATC What will happen in this industry in the long run?
  • 8. SCENARIO #2 - ZERO ECON PROFIT The ATC must be equal to the price, so that calculated profit is zero. A Firm $ MR = d q Pe MC q* ATC What will happen in this industry in the long run?
  • 9. SCENARIO #3 - NEGATIVE PROFIT I The ATC must be more than the price, so that calculated profit is negative. What will happen in this industry in the long run? $ MR = d q A Firm Pe MC q* ATC AVC Will this firm stay in business in the short run? It depends . . .
  • 10. SCENARIO #3 - NEGATIVE PROFIT II: THE SHUTDOWN POINT The firm will shut down, right away, if the Price (MR) is less than the AVC… or, if the total loss > fixed costs What will happen in this industry in the long run? $ MR = d q A Firm Pe MC q* ATC AVC Fixed Costs Do worksheet on perfect competition.
  • 11. PERFECT COMPETITION & EFFICIENCY Allocative Efficiency (What to produce?) Productive Efficiency (How to produce?) occurs when Price = Marginal Cost Why ? occurs where output level is at the minimum ATC Why ?
  • 12. PERFECT COMPETITION & EFFICIENCY Perfectly competitive firms are always Allocatively Efficient Perfectly competitive firms always charge a price = MC. Why? $ MR = d q Pe MC q* ATC In the LR, perfectly competitive firms produce at min. ATC. Why? In the LR, perfectly competitive firms are Productively Efficient
  • 13. PERFECT COMPETITION IN LR We know that in SR, firms can earn a positive, or negative, economic profit. What happens in the long run? Q Qe Pe P S D The Market Q Qe Pe P S D The Market If econ profits are positive, entry occurs S* If econ profits are negative, exit occurs S*
  • 14. PERFECT COMPETITION IN LR If a firm earns positive economic profit, in the long run that will be dissipated as firms enter. Q Qe Pe P S D The Market $ MR = d q A Firm Pe MC q* ATC S* MR* = d* Pe* q* In the LR, this firm earns 0 econ profit.
  • 15. PERFECT COMPETITION IN LR If a firm earns negative economic profit, in the long run that will be eliminated as firms exit. Q Qe Pe P S D The Market $ MR = d q A Firm Pe MC q ATC In the LR, this firm earns 0 econ profit. q* MR* = d* Pe* S*
  • 16. THE PARADOX OF TAXING ECONOMIC PROFIT In the short run, there are no consequences! MC q Q Qe Pe P S D* $ Pe = MR = d q A Firm The Market D ATC q* P* MR* = d*
