Industry Supply 行业供给

 How are the supply decisions of the many individual firms in a competitive industry to be combined to discover the market supply curve for the entire industry?

 Since every firm in the industry is a price-taker, total quantity supplied at a given price is the sum of quantities supplied at that price by the individual firms.

 In a short-run the number of firms in the industry is, temporarily, fixed.  Let n be the number of firms; i = 1, …,n.  S i (p) is firm i’s supply function.  The industry’s short-run supply function is

p S 1 (p) p S 2 (p) Firm 1’s SupplyFirm 2’s Supply

p S 1 (p) p S 2 (p) p p’ S 1 (p’) Firm 1’s SupplyFirm 2’s Supply S(p) = S 1 (p) + S 2 (p) Industry’s Supply

p S 1 (p) p S 2 (p) p S(p) = S 1 (p) + S 2 (p) p” S 1 (p”) S 1 (p”)+S 2 (p”) S 2 (p”) Firm 1’s SupplyFirm 2’s Supply Industry’s Supply

p S 1 (p) p S 2 (p) p Firm 1’s SupplyFirm 2’s Supply S(p) = S 1 (p) + S 2 (p) Industry’s Supply

 In a short-run, neither entry (进入) nor exit ( 退出) can occur.  Consequently, in a short-run equilibrium, some firms may earn positive economics profits, others may suffer economic losses, and still others may earn zero economic profit.

Market demand Short-run industry supply psepse YseYse Y Short-run equilibrium price clears the market (市场出清) and is taken as given by each firm.

 In the long-run every firm now in the industry is free to exit and firms now outside the industry are free to enter.  The industry’s long-run supply function must account for entry and exit as well as for the supply choices of firms that choose to be in the industry.  How is this done?

 Positive economic profit induces entry.  Economic profit is positive when the market price p s e is higher than a firm’s minimum av. total cost; p s e > min AC(y).  Entry increases industry supply, causing p s e to fall.  When does entry cease?

S 2 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p2p2 p2p2 Then the market-clearing price is p 2.

S 2 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p2p2 p2p2 y2*y2* Then the market-clearing price is p 2. Each firm produces y 2 * units of output.

S 4 (p) S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p4p4 Each firm would produce less again. Each firm’s economic profit would be negative. So the fourth firm would not enter. y4*y4*  < 0 p4p4

 The long-run number of firms in the industry is the largest number for which the market price is at least as large as min AC(y).  Now we can construct the industry’s long-run supply curve.

 Suppose that market demand is large enough to sustain only two firms in the industry.

S 2 (p) S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p2’p2’ y2*y2* p2’p2’

 Suppose that market demand is large enough to sustain only two firms in the industry.  Then market demand increases, the market price rises, each firm produces more, and earns a higher economic profit.

S 2 (p) S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p2’p2’ y2*y2* p2’p2’

S 2 (p) S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p2”p2” y2*y2* p2”p2”

S 2 (p) S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y y2*y2* p2”p2”p2”p2”

S 2 (p) S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y y2*y2* Notice that a 3rd firm will not enter since it would earn negative economic profits. p2”p2”p2”p2”

 As market demand increases further, the market price rises further, the two incumbent firms each produce more and earn still higher economic profits -- until a 3rd firm becomes indifferent between entering and staying out.

S 2 (p) S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y y2*y2* p2”p2”p2”p2”

 So any further increase in market demand will cause the number of firms in the industry to rise to three.

 How much further can market demand increase before a fourth firm enters the industry?

Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p3’p3’ y3*y3* S 3 (p) S 4 (p) p3’p3’

Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y p3’p3’ y3*y3* A 4th firm would now earn negative economic profits if it entered the industry. p3’p3’ S 3 (p) S 4 (p)

S 3 (p) Mkt. Demand AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market pp Y y3*y3* S 4 (p) But now a 4th firm would earn zero economic profit if it entered the industry. p3’p3’p3’p3’

 Continuing in this manner builds the industry’s long-run supply curve, one section at-a-time from successive short-run industry supply curves.

AC(y)MC(y) y A “Typical” FirmThe Market Long-Run Supply Curve pp Y y3*y3* Notice that the bottom of each segment of the supply curve is min AC(y).

 As each firm gets “smaller” relative to the industry, the long-run industry supply curve approaches a horizontal line at the height of min AC(y).

 In the long-run market equilibrium, the market price is determined solely by the long-run minimum average production cost. Long-run market price is

 Economic profit=0  All factors are priced at market values, or opp. costs.  Like a firm with constant returns to scale in the long run.

 In a short-run equilibrium, the burden of a sales or an excise tax is typically shared by both buyers and sellers, tax incidence of the tax depending upon the own-price elasticities of demand and supply.  Q: Is this true in a long-run market equilibrium?

LR supply (no tax) p X,Y Mkt. demand QeQe p s =p e LR supply (with tax) QtQt p b = p e +t t In the long-run the buyers pay all of a sales or an excise tax.

 What if there is a barriers to entry or exit?  E.g., the taxi-cab industry has a barrier to entry even though there are lots of cabs competing with each other.  Liquor licensing is a barrier to entry into a competitive industry.

 Nature  Land  Oil field  Entrepreneurial skills  Talent  Regulation  License  Land use regulations

 Q: When there is a barrier to entry, will not the firms already in the industry make positive economic profits?

 A: No. Each firm in the industry makes a zero economic profit. Why?

 An input (e.g. an operating license) that is fixed in the long-run causes a long-run fixed cost, F.  Long-run total cost, c(y) = F + c v (y).  And long-run average total cost, AC(y) = AFC(y) + AVC(y).  In the long-run equilibrium, what will be the value of F?

 Think of a firm that needs an operating license -- the license is a fixed input that is rented but not owned by the firm.  If the firm makes a positive economic profit then another firm can offer the license owner a higher price for it. In this way, all firms’ economic profits are competed away, to zero.

 So in the long-run equilibrium, each firm makes a zero economic profit  and each firm’s fixed cost is its payment for its operating license.

y $/output unit AC(y) AVC(y) MC(y) y* pepe The firm’s economic profit is zero.

y $/output unit AC(y) AVC(y) MC(y) y* pepe F The firm’s economic profit is zero. F is the payment to the owner of the fixed input (the license).

 Economic rent is the payment for an input that is in excess of the minimum payment required to have that input supplied.  Each license essentially costs zero to supply, so the long-run economic rent paid to the license owner is the firm’s long-run fixed cost.

y $/output unit AC(y) AVC(y) MC(y) y* pepe F The firm’s economic profit is zero. F is the payment to the owner of the fixed input (the license); F = economic rent.

 Owners of the fixed factor  Taxi-license owners  When market price for product increases  Accounting profit rises  Labor costs unchanged because labor market is competitive  Rent increases.
