- Back in 2013, Foxtel had just finished acquiring Austar, its major competitor. Foxtel was enjoying near total dominance in the market. There were other players such as Optus TV and iiNet, however, their market shares were dwarfed by that of Foxtel. IBISWorld reported that Foxtel occupied 92.6% of market share in 2013. Then in March 2015, Netflix Australia was launched, opening the gate for an influx of other subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services. These new services were internet-based, which differed from Foxtel’s model of cable TV. Nevertheless, they competed fiercely for subscribers. Fast forward to the present day (October 2021), Australian consumers now have a wealth of choices of content offered by Foxtel, Netflix, Stan, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Disney+, Optus Sport, and the recently launched Paramount+ (launched in August 2021).

- If you add more money to the economy, you might expect to see: More suppliers to meet the demand unleashed by the extra cash A move to oligopoly from the free market as big companies become bigger Fewer suppliers to meet the demand unleashed by the extra cash Drmand move to other products; the extra cash won't affect this supply-demand relationship.arrow_forwardWhen the National Hockey League locked out the hockey players in an effort to negotiate a salary cap with the players' union, it was an example of conflict: O within a bilateral monopoly.

- Topic B Problem: When the Edmonton Oilers built a new arena, Rogers Place, they claimed that they raised ticket prices to cover the higher costs associated with the new stadium. If the Oilers are profitable, should the extra costs from a new arena be responsible for raising ticket prices? If your answer is no, explain why ticket prices rise after building a new arena. To keep the Topic B problem simple, assume the Oilers are a monopoly in their market and assume there is only one ticket price. Hint: determine if a new arena is a fixed or variable cost.arrow_forwardWill the firms in an oligopoly act more like a monopoly or more like competitors?arrow_forwardPresent an example of a prisoner’s dilemma in your own life.
