    Study Notes

    Oligopoly Models

    • In the kinked demand curve model of oligopoly, it is assumed that the demand curve has a kink at the current price level, with a more elastic segment above the kink and a less elastic segment below.

    Production Function

    • The Cobb-Douglas homogeneous production function is Q = $L^{1/2}K^{1/2}$, where Q is output, L is labor, and K is capital.

    Price Discrimination

    • Price discrimination will be profitable only if the elasticity of demand in different markets is different, allowing a firm to charge different prices in each market.

    Economic Analysis

    • An example of positive economic analysis would be a study that aims to describe and explain an economic phenomenon without making value judgments.

    Economic Systems

    • Business cycles emerge in capitalist economic systems, characterized by private ownership of the means of production and creation of goods and services for profit.
