What is a perfect (pure) price competition model and what are its assumptions? Explain in detail how the price competition model is supposed to work, its process and the outcome (this includes many components relating to the quality of goods, the type of ‘playing field’ that production and price competition takes place on, consumer sovereignty, etc.). Does this model hold logically and empirically? Explain. From the heterodox perspective, how does an oligopolistic competitive market work in the real world? Include the assumptions behind this perspective. Does this model hold logically and empirically? Explain. Why does the prevalence and dominance of positive feedbacks support an oligopoly structure over a perfect (pure) price competitive structure (include readings)? Why is it that oligopolistic firm’s do not compete over price and find it advantageous to collude and fix prices (a recent case involved Procter & Gamble and Unilever, 2011)? Note here that fixing prices is the exact opposite of a perfect price competition model. What is the ‘logic’ of the production system (i.e., M-C-M’ or C-M-C’) from the orthodox and heterodox perspectives and what does this have to do with the structure/organization of our economy? Explain the difference between these two logics. Given the logic of each, what drives the economy forward (i.e. gets it moving) from these perspectives, supply or demand? Explain the process of both.
