Four Market Structures
In Week #5: Lecture #2, we discussed that markets are most efficient and equitable when perfectly competitive. It was also noted that how competitive a market is determines how much market pricing power firms in aggregate enjoy, as well as the price elasticity of the individual firm's demand curve.
When we assess markets, we base efficiency and equity upon whether it's a market comprised of price takers or price searchers.
· Price takers are firms who have no market pricing power, no product differentiation from other competitors, and the market is perfectly competitive and efficient and equitable.
· Price searchers, on the other hand, are firms who have at least some market pricing power, at least some product differentiation from other competitors, and the market is imperfectly competitive leading to losses in efficiency and equity.
So, let's talk about price searchers now. Price searching firms are also imperfectly competitive. Firms who produce goods with at least some product differentiation can to a certain amount affect market price.
There are three types of imperfect competitors: monopolistically competitive, oligopoly, and monopoly.
With monopolistically competitive, like the perfectly competitive firm, there are many producers, only short-run economic profits can be attained, and products produced are very similar but do have some relative differentiation.
Oligopolies and monopolies, on the other hand, have high barriers to entry, and although for oligopolies there is product differentiation but similar products from competitors, there are too few competitors due to high barriers to entry to deny the oligopolies long-run economic profits.
For the monopolistically competitive market structure, supply and demand determine market equilibrium and allocation of resources. Individual firms do have their own demand curve, and the market demand curve is made up by adding up all the firms' demand curves.
· The demand curve for the individual firm will have some downward slope, and there will be a separate downward-sloping marginal revenue curve. The optimal point where monopolistically competitive firms produce is where marginal costs equal marginal revenues, and then price is set from that point up on the X-axis (horizontal axis) until it meets the demand curve.
Any price in the short run above the competitiveprice (perfectly competitive) where marginal costs equal marginal revenues will result in economic profits; due to a lack of barriers to entry, new firms will enter, shifting the demand curves of individual firms in the market leftward, pulling price down to the ATC (average total cost curve) back to equilibrium, thus eliminating economic profits in the long run and normal profits existing thereafter.
In summary, we have four market structures, with perfectly competitive being the benchmark from which efficiency and equity are found. The other three market structures.

market pricing power firms in aggregate enjoy, as well as the
price elasticity of the individual firm's demand curve.
When we assess markets, we base efficiency and equity upon
whether it's a market comprised of price takers or price
searchers.
· Price takers are firms who have no market pricing power, no
product differentiation from other competitors, and the market
is perfectly competitive and efficient and equitable.
· Price searchers, on the other hand, are firms who have at least
some market pricing power, at least some product
differentiation from other competitors, and the market is
imperfectly competitive leading to losses in efficiency and
equity.
So, let's talk about price searchers now. Price searching firms
are also imperfectly competitive. Firms who produce goods with
at least some product differentiation can to a certain amount
affect market price.
There are three types of imperfect competitors: monopolistically
competitive, oligopoly, and monopoly.
With monopolistically competitive, like the perfectly
competitive firm, there are many producers, only short-run
economic profits can be attained, and products produced are
very similar but do have some relative differentiation.
Oligopolies and monopolies, on the other hand, have high
barriers to entry, and although for oligopolies there is product
differentiation but similar products from competitors, there are
too few competitors due to high barriers to entry to deny the
2. oligopolies long-run economic profits.
For the monopolistically competitive market structure, supply
and demand determine market equilibrium and allocation of
resources. Individual firms do have their own demand curve,
and the market demand curve is made up by adding up all the
firms' demand curves.
· The demand curve for the individual firm will have some
downward slope, and there will be a separate downward-sloping
marginal revenue curve. The optimal point where
monopolistically competitive firms produce is where marginal
costs equal marginal revenues, and then price is set from that
point up on the X-axis (horizontal axis) until it meets the
demand curve.
Any price in the short run above the competitiveprice (perfectly
competitive) where marginal costs equal marginal revenues will
result in economic profits; due to a lack of barriers to entry,
new firms will enter, shifting the demand curves of individual
firms in the market leftward, pulling price down to the ATC
(average total cost curve) back to equilibrium, thus eliminating
economic profits in the long run and normal profits existing
thereafter.
In summary, we have four market structures, with perfectly
competitive being the benchmark from which efficiency and
equity are found. The other three market structures -
monopolistically competitive, oligopoly, and monopoly - are not
fully efficient and equitable.
· Oligopoly and monopoly are the least competitive market
structures in which long-run economic profits are present due to
a downward-sloping demand curve and high barriers to entry,
while monopolistically competitive has a downward sloping
demand curve but low barriers to entry (low product
differentiation) with no long-run economic profits.

Price Takers and Searchers
In Week #6: Lecture #1, we discussed that markets are most
3. efficient and equitable when perfectly competitive. It was also
noted that how competitive a market is determines how much
market pricing power firms in aggregate enjoy, as well as the
price elasticity of the individual firm's demand curve.
· When we assess markets, we base efficiency and equity upon
whether it's a market comprised of price takers or price
searchers.
Price takers are firms who have no market pricing power, no
product differentiation from other competitors, and the market
is perfectly competitive and efficient and equitable.
Price searchers, on the other hand, are firms who have at least
some market pricing power, at least some product
differentiation from other competitors, and the market is
imperfectly competitive leading to losses in efficiency and
equity.
· Secondly, price searching firms are also imperfectly
competitive. Firms who produce goods with at least some
product differentiation can to a certain amount affect market
price. There are three types of imperfect competitors:
monopolistically competitive, oligopoly, and monopoly.
· With monopolistically competitive, like the perfectly
competitive firm, there are many producers, only short-run
economic profits can be attained, and products produced are
very similar but do have some relative differentiation.
Oligopolies and monopolies, on the other hand, have high
barriers to entry, and although for oligopolies there is product
differentiation but similar products from competitors, there are
too few competitors due to high barriers to entry to deny the
oligopolies long-run economic profits.
· What are some other characteristics of oligopolies that
differentiate them from monopolistically competitive.
Economies of scale is very high.
· Usually with oligopolies, the long-run average total cost curve
has a relatively long economies of scale section, with relatively
smaller constant returns and diseconomies sections. Collusion
and mergers tend to pervade this market structure, especially
4. when it becomes difficult to combat diseconomies of scale.
Monopolies, on the other hand, have no close competitors, the
market demand curve is its demand curve, and no close
substitutes exist. Pure monopolies are rare and are either
prevented or eliminated due to anti-trust laws, like the Sherman
Anti-trust Act of 1890, which break them up.
The government can regulate and allow a firm to operate as a
monopoly, but the regulated monopoly will not have pure
monopoly pricing power nor ultimate economic profits. A
regulate monopoly is called a natural monopoly, and the firm is
allowed only a fair price at which price is set at its ATC.

Misogyny
Misogyny refers to the prejudice or contempt against
women. The societal ailment can be manifested in
numerous ways, though hard to spot. In most of the
cases, misogynists do not acknowledge that they indeed
hate women. It is typically an incognizant contempt that
men form, often resulting to psychological harm that
involves a female figure. Therefore, as regards to

They are viewed as objects to be disrespected by
showing lack of respect accompanied by a feeling of
intense disdain. In the Revolutionary Road, April Wheeler
is
subjected bound
to social exclusion, an indication that reflects misogyny,
particularly by the fact that she feels she does not fit into
society. Upon meeting Frank, she believes that Frank is
an intelligent man who can present her to a world less
excluding. She abandons her dream of becoming a
professional actress and marries him. She, however,
does not accord the idea of getting children till her late-
twenties but is otherwise convinced by Frank not to abort
an inadvertent pregnancy.
Conforming to A Doll’s House, Nora Helmer is also
10. subjected to a treacherous experience of male privilege,
an example to misogyny. At the beginning of the Play,
Tovarld Helmer, her husband views him as a spendthrift.
She is largely downtrodden and scolded by her husband
throughout the entire play. She, however, does not seem
really concerned about this and jubilantly plays along
with her husband’s pet names such as “Skylark,”
“squirrel,” “pet” and “Songbird,”. In general, her husband

seems dominant to her, controlling her and making all
sorts of treatments, like “A Doll.”
Despite this, Torvald regularly treats her or refers to her
as a child. A good example is an inclination that her
husband forbade her from eating on macaroons,
something that she frequently does anyway in spite of
her promises to her husband of total obedience to him.
The imagery of both animal and child reflect Nora’s
clearly carefree nature, innocent, and suggest that
Torvald does not perceive of her as a mature adult by the
fact that she is a woman.
On another overview, male dominance is predominately
expressed in the Revolutionary Road where Frank had
choices and options over April. From time to time, Frank
went every day to the city on the train with other men to
their “boring jobs” while April stayed at home as a
homemaker. Yet on the play, A Doll’s House, Nora is
perceived to has no formal occupation because she
12. cannot be given the opportunity to be employed. She is
constantly reminded by her husband that women were
allowed to work only if they were widowed or unmarried.
In the play, Nora is only permitted to do light work such
as embroidery, crochet.
Contrary to these aspects of misogyny, we can perceive
women hostility in Revolutionary Road. After the opening
night of the theatre, April and Frank had an awful fight
while on their way back home, a fight that managed to
make their affair even less friendly. In an attempt to
regain his lost state of being a man and draw his
attention away from his problems, Frank committed
adultery with a young and naïve woman, Maureen. The
context in this overview explicates women hostility by the
fact that they are harshly treated as well as the idea of
adultery that Frank engaged. On the play, A Doll’s House,
it can be ascertained that Nora was a total subject to
hostility. Upon Torvald opening his letterbox, he calls her
a liar and a hypocrite to an extent of complaining that
Nora has ruined his happiness.
Torvald further declares that Nora will be discontinued
upon raising their children. As a result, the protagonist in
the play does not easily submit to the status quo. When
Torvald further learns of the debt and eventually fails to
forgive her till he is certain that his reputation is indeed
13. safe, Nora becomes fully aware that her apprehension of
herself, her marriage, her husband and the society at
large was all wrong. She then gives consent that she
cannot for more time be happy in her marriage and life,
and finally resolves at leaving both her husband and her
home in search of purpose, a sense of self and a chance
be cognizant about the world.
In addition to the misogynistic environment between the
two contexts, the contemplate against women can be
further perceived through sexual objectification. In the
Revolutionary Road, sexual objectification is attended by
the fact that April has two children and having the third
one on the way before her alternative to aborting, which
led to undesirable consequences. To April’s horror and
despair, she found out that she was indeed pregnant
with her third child and this factor greatly ruined all her
dreams and hopes. However, on the play, A Doll’s House,

things were not baffling. Nora had three children with
her husband and during his lifetime, tendered and cared
for his family. He even had to intervene in her husband’s
illness and secure a loan which was bound by secrets.
Though she had good intentions of keeping this a secret,
the consequences that followed his choices led him to an
abrasive relationship.
By this means, i think that these protagonists, both
caught by their cultures’ misogyny trump over the
cultural attitudes and got doomed by it respectively.
Attending to the Revolutionary Road, the main
protagonist, April Wheeler was doomed by the culture’s
misogyny. Following his crumpled dream of moving to
Europe, where she could ideally change her status quo by
eventually resorting to working, sparing Frank all the time
he needed to figure out what he could do.
The hurt was intense and April crashed. Similarly, to
17. Frank, April she slept with her old admirer, Shep
Campbell, as an attempt to get through her sorrow. April
eventually died in a hospital due to an unsuccessful
attempt of self-abortion. Frank then learned that April
really never loved him, from the last note she left before
dying. Frank would never be in a position to recover from
this, compelling him to abandon his own children who
lived with his elder brother.
On the other hand, Nora managed to trump over the
culture’s misogyny in the play A Doll’s House. As
perceived through the paper, upon her husband opening
the letterbox, he throws insults to Nora, to whom she
perceives this as unpleasantly stern. Torvald complains
that Nora has ruined his life after calling her a liar and a
hypocrite, eventually declaring that she will not be in
apposition to raise their children.
However, at a subsequent time upon Helene bringing
him another letter, Torvald discovers that Krogstad, who
faced dismissal has delivered Nora’s contract which
typically contains the forged signature. Torvald, who is
extremely joyful attempts to dismiss his insults, but the
harsh words had triggered Nora’s senses. She then
declares to her husband that in spite of their 8 years of
marriage, both of them do not quite understand each
other. Nora asserts, that Torvald has over time taken her
18. as a “doll” to be admired and played with. She leaves
Torvald, declaring that she ought to “make sense of
[her]self and everything around her”.

Following the women protagonists in the Revolutionary Road
and A Dolls House, April
Wheeler and Nora Helmer in particular greatly explicates the
effects on female protagonists. These two great artistic works
both happened in
cultures of strict conformity, intending both men and women
must play roles in
almost all aspects of their daily lives. In the Revolutionary
Road, April Wheeler is
a passionate and independent-minded woman, but
inveterate
unhappy. As a suburban lady of the house, she is
generally
perceived miserable with her life.
Her parents who were partygoers did not consent her and she
was brought up by her
aunts in an affluent setting. April
struggles and wants to fit in among neighbors who
led a lifetime of excitement.
Attending to the
play, A Dolls House, Nora Helmer
portrayed as a young woman, has three children and married to
Torvald Helmer.
At the outset of the play, she is carefree and bubbly, excited
about her husbands
26. promotion and Christmas. Despite the fact that she
intrigued by some maters in her household, she entirely remains
skeptical about it.
With this overview, misogyny in these women portrayed
within both context reflects the various effects that channeled
them undertake
certain actions.
In both contexts, misogyny is well
manifested, though as a feature that cannot be spoken but
whispered, mostly
inclining at setting off certain circumstances. In the movie and
the play,
misogyny relates to the contempt against women. They are
viewed as objects to
be disrespected by showing lack of respect accompanied by a
feeling of intense
disdain. In the Revolutionary
Misogyny in the MoviesLiterature 3Road, April Wheeler is
subjected to
social exclusion, an indication that reflects misogyny,
particularly by the fact that
she feels she does not fit into society. Upon meeting Frank, she
believes that
Frank is an intelligent man who can present her to a world less
excluding. She
abandons her dream of becoming a professional actress and
marries him. She,
however, does not accord the idea of getting children till her
27. late-twenties but is
otherwise convinced by Frank not to abort an inadvertent
pregnancy.
Conforming to A Dolls House, Nora Helmer is also subjected to
a treacherous
experience of male privilege, an example to misogyny. At the
beginning of the
Play, Tovarld Helmer, her husband views him as a spendthrift.
She is largely
downtrodden and scolded by her husband throughout the entire
play. She,
however, does not seem really concerned about this and
jubilantly plays along
with her husbands pet names such as Skylark, squirrel, pet and
Songbird,. In
general, her husband seems dominant to her, controlling her and
making all sorts

her or refers to
her as a child. A good example is an inclination that her
husband forbade her
from eating on macaroons, something that she frequently does

Misogyny Misogyny refers
to the prejudice or contempt against women. The societal
ailment can be manifested
in numerous ways, though hard to spot. In most of the cases,
misogynists do not
acknowledge that they indeed hate women. It is typically an
incognizant contempt that
men form, often resulting to psychological harm that involves a
female figure.
Therefore, as regards to the women protagonists in the
Revolutionary Road and A
29. Dolls House respectively, April Wheeler and Nora Helmer in
particular, greatly
explicates various
effects on female protagonists. These two great artistic works
both happened in
cultures of strict conformity, intending both men and women
must play roles in
almost all aspects of their daily lives. In the Revolutionary
Road, April Wheeler is
a passionate and independent-minded woman, but
inveterately
unhappy. As a suburban lady of the house, she is
perceived miserable with her life.
She
struggles and wants to fit in among neighbors who
lead a good life. On the
play, A Dolls House, Nora Helmer
is also
portrayed as a young woman, has three children and married to
Torvald Helmer.
At the outset of the play, she is carefree and bubbly, excited
about her husbands
promotion and Christmas. Despite the fact that she
was intrigued by some maters in her household, she entirely
remains skeptical about
it. Both contexts reflect misogyny in women as well as the
various consequences that
30. led them undertake certain actions. Lastname2In both settings,
misogyny is well
manifested, though as a feature that cannot be spoken but
whispered, mostly
inclining at setting off certain circumstances. In the movie and
the play,
misogyny relates to the contempt against women. They are
viewed as objects to
be disrespected by showing lack of respect accompanied by a
feeling of intense
disdain. In the Revolutionary
Road, April Wheeler is bound to
social exclusion, an indication that reflects misogyny,
particularly by the fact that
she feels she does not fit into society. Upon meeting Frank, she
believes that
Frank is an intelligent man who can present her to a world less
excluding. She
abandons her dream of becoming a professional actress and
marries him. She,
however, does not accord the idea of getting children till her
late-twenties but is
otherwise convinced by Frank not to abort an inadvertent
pregnancy.
Conforming to A Dolls House, Nora Helmer is also subjected to
a treacherous
experience of male privilege, an example to misogyny. At the
beginning of the
Play, Tovarld Helmer, her husband views him as a spendthrift.
31. She is largely
downtrodden and scolded by her husband throughout the entire
play. She,
however, does not seem really concerned about this and
jubilantly plays along
with her husbands pet names such as Skylark, squirrel, pet and
Songbird,. In
general, her husband seems dominant to her, controlling her and
making all sorts
of treatments, like A Doll. Despite this, Torvald regularly treats
her or refers to
her as a child. A good example is an inclination that her
husband forbade her
from eating on macaroons, something that she frequently does
anyway in spite
of her promises to her husband of total obedience to him. The
Lastname3imagery of both
animal and child reflect Noras clearly carefree nature, innocent,
and suggest that
Torvald does not perceive of her as a mature adult by the fact
that she is a
woman. On another overview, male dominance is predominately
expressed in the
Revolutionary Road where Frank had choices and options over
April. From time
to time, Frank went every day to the city on the train with other
men to their
boring jobs while April stayed at home as a
homemaker.
32. Yet on the play, A Dolls House, Nora is perceived to has no
formal occupation
because she cannot be given the opportunity to be employed.
She is constantly
reminded by her husband that women were allowed to work only
if they were
widowed or unmarried. In the play, Nora is only permitted to do
light work such
as embroidery, crochet. Contrary to these aspects of misogyny,
we can perceive

April and Frank had an awful fight while on their way back

The context in this

harshly treated as

Dolls House, it can

Torvald opening
his letterbox, he calls her a liar and a hypocrite to an extent of
complaining that
Nora has ruined his happiness. Torvald further declares that
Nora will be
discontinued upon raising their children. As a result, the
protagonist in the play
does not easily submit to the status quo. When Torvald further
learns of the debt
and eventually fails to forgive her till he is certain that his
reputation is indeed
safe, Nora becomes fully aware that her
apprehension of
herself, her marriage, her husband and the society at large was
all wrong. She
then gives consent that she cannot for more time be happy in
her marriage and
life, and finally resolves at leaving both her husband and her

Revolutionary Road, April Wheeler is a passionate and
independent-minded woman, but
inveterate unhappy. As a suburban lady of the house, she is
generally perceived miserable with
her life. Her parents who were partygoers did not consent her
and she was brought up by her
aunts in an affluent setting. April struggles and wants to fit in
among neighbors who led a
lifetime of excitement.
Attending to the play, A Doll’s House, Nora Helmer portrayed
as a young woman, has
three children and married to Torvald Helmer. At the outset of
the play, she is carefree and
bubbly, excited about her husband’s promotion and Christmas.
Despite the fact that she intrigued
by some maters in her household, she entirely remains skeptical
about it. With this overview,
misogyny in these women portrayed within both context reflects

Conforming to A Doll’s House, Nora Helmer is also subjected
to a treacherous experience

and scolded by her husband
throughout the entire play. She, however, does not seem really

jubilantly plays along with her husband’s pet names such as
“Skylark,” “squirrel,” “pet” and
“Songbird,”. In general, her husband seems dominant to her,
controlling her and making all sorts

Despite this, Torvald regularly treats her or refers to her as a
child. A good example is an
inclination that her husband forbade her from eating on
macaroons, something that she
frequently does anyway in spite of her promises to her husband
of total obedience to him. The
imagery of both animal and child reflect Nora’s clearly carefree
nature, innocent, and suggest
that Torvald does not perceive of her as a mature adult by the
fact that she is a woman.
On another overview, male dominance is predominately

to has no formal occupation
because she cannot be given the opportunity to be employed.
She is constantly reminded by her
husband that women were allowed to work only if they were
widowed or unmarried. In the play,
Nora is only permitted to do light work such as embroidery,
crochet.
Contrary to these aspects of misogyny, we can perceive women
hostility in Revolutionary
Road. After the opening night of the theatre, April and Frank
had an awful fight while on their
way back home, a fight that managed to make their affair even
less friendly. In an attempt to
regain his lost state of being a man and draw his attention away
from his problems, Frank
committed adultery with a young and naïve woman, Maureen.
The context in this overview
explicates women hostility by the fact that they are harshly
60. treated as well as the idea of adultery
that Frank engaged. On the play, A Doll’s House, it can be
ascertained that Nora was a total
subject to hostility. Upon Torvald opening his letterbox, he
calls her a liar and a hypocrite to an
extent of complaining that Nora has ruined his happiness.
Torvald further declares that Nora will be discontinued upon
raising their children. As a
result, the protagonist in the play does not easily submit to the
status quo. When Torvald further
learns of the debt and eventually fails to forgive her till he is
certain that his reputation is indeed
safe, Nora becomes fully aware that her apprehension of herself,
her marriage, her husband and
the society at large was all wrong. She then gives consent that
she cannot for more time be happy
in her marriage and life, and finally resolves at leaving both her
husband and her home in search
of purpose, a sense of self and a chance be cognizant about the
world.

61. In addition to the misogynistic environment between the two
contexts, the contemplate
against women can be further perceived through sexual
objectification. In the Revolutionary
Road, sexual objectification is attended by the fact that April
has two children and having the
third one on the way before her alternative to aborting, which
led to undesirable consequences.
To April’s horror and despair, she found out that she was indeed
pregnant with her third child and
this factor greatly ruined all her dreams and hopes. However, on
the play, A Doll’s House, things
were not baffling. Nora had three children with her husband and
during his lifetime, tendered and
cared for his family. He even had to intervene in her husband’s
illness and secure a loan which
was bound by secrets. Though she had good intentions of
keeping this a secret, the consequences
that followed his choices led him to an abrasive relationship.
By this means, i think that these protagonists, both caught by
their cultures’ misogyny
trump over the cultural attitudes and got doomed by it
respectively. Attending to the
Revolutionary Road, the main protagonist, April Wheeler was
62. doomed by the culture’s
misogyny. Following his crumpled dream of moving to Europe,
where she could ideally change
her status quo by eventually resorting to working, sparing Frank
all the time he needed to figure

The hurt was intense and April crashed. Similarly, to Frank,
April she slept with her old

hospital due to an unsuccessful attempt of self-abortion. Frank
then learned that April really

would never be in a position to
recover from this, compelling him to abandon his own children
who lived with his elder brother.

63. insults to Nora, to whom she perceives this as unpleasantly
stern. Torvald complains that Nora
has ruined his life after calling her a liar and a hypocrite,
eventually declaring that she will not be
in apposition to raise their children.
However, at a subsequent time upon Helene bringing him
another letter, Torvald
discovers that Krogstad, who faced dismissal has delivered
Nora’s contract which typically
contains the forged signature. Torvald, who is extremely joyful
attempts to dismiss his insults,
but the harsh words had triggered Nora’s senses. She then
declares to her husband that in spite of
their 8 years of marriage, both of them do not quite understand
each other. Nora asserts, that
Torvald has over time taken her as a “doll” to be admired and
played with. She leaves Torvald,
declaring that she ought to “make sense of [her]self and
everything around her”.
Indeed, the misogyny in these women that are portrayed within
both context reflects the
various effects that channeled them undertake certain actions.
The interiorized impacts of
misogyny on women in both cultures is largely reflected issues
64. with the outcome of the event as
relative to the individuals. With the content of female
objectification that is ingrained deeply in
the minds of women during their shaping period, the pressure of
maintaining a pleasing
appearance to men is often ineluctable (Shaw, 2017).
