Question 1

Assume the world's largest smart-phone producers (Apple, Nokia, Samsung, etc.) operate in an oligopolistic industry. In the long run, which of the following is the most important form of competition between these firms?
◦ predatory pricing
◦ product innovation
◦ brand proliferation
◦ advertising
◦ tacit collusion

Question 2

Suppose there are only five construction companies in a particular region that are each large enough to take on large public infrastructure projects (roads, bridges, sewers, etc.). Representatives of these companies meet regularly for coffee or on the golf course and agree on which company will submit the lowest bid for a particular project. This type of firm behaviour is an example of
◦ predatory pricing, and is meant to prevent new entrance to the industry.
◦ cooperative behaviour that results in increased consumer welfare.
◦ cooperative behaviour that results in higher output and lower prices.
◦ tacit collusion, and is legal as long as output is not restricted.
◦ explicit collusion and is illegal.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
