- 18. Market Structure Kinked Demand Curve Price Quantity D = elastic D = Inelastic £5 100 Kinked D Curve
Notas do Editor
- The intention of this slide is to demonstrate the principle of the kinked demand curve. The slide starts with the vertical and horizontal axes. A demand curve appears – relatively elastic and a price of £5 and q 100 appear. The explanation at this point would imply asking students what would happen if the producer increased price but nobody else in the industry followed? Hopefully students will see that the demand would fall significantly. By this stage students should be aware of the impact on total revenue as a result of this action. The next assumption rests on the firm facing an inelastic demand curve; in this case the firm believes that firms will follow suit in reducing price – the effect is to lead to only a small gain in sales – total revenue would again fall. Assuming the two characteristics would suggest a kinked demand curve and price stability existing in the industry with the likely outcome being non-price comptition.
