Content: Conclusions: This analysis shows that many factors influence the overall sagittal balance of the patient, but it may be the position of the pelvis and lower spine that have a stronger influence than the position of the upper back and neck. Unfortunately, to our knowledge, there are no studies to date that have established a normal sagittal T1 tilt angle. However, our analysis has shown that when the T1 tilt was higher than 25°, all patients had at least 10 cm of positive sagittal imbalance. It also showed that patients with negative sagittal balance had mostly low T1 tilt values, usually below 13° of angulation. The T1 sagittal angle is a measurement that may be very useful in evaluating sagittal balance, as it was the measure that most strongly correlated with SVA(dens). It has its great utility where long films cannot be obtained. Patients whose T1 tilt falls outside the range 13° to 25° should be sent for full-column radiographs for a complete evaluation of their sagittal balance. On the other hand, a T1 tilt within the above range does not guarantee a normal sagittal balance, and further investigation should be performed at the surgeon's discretion.

Excerpt
Staphylococcus saprophyticusis a Gram-positive, coagulase negative, non-hemolytic coccus that is a common cause of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in young sexually active females. Less commonly, it is responsible for complications including acute pyelonephritis, urethritis, epididymitis, and prostatitis. An acute uncomplicated UTI is characterized by dysuria and frequency in an immunocompetent, non-pregnant adult female and is the most common bacterial infection in women. A complicated infection typically involves a patient that is immunocompromised, elderly, male, pregnant, diabetic, and/or with urologic abnormalities such as indwelling catheters or kidney disease. S. saprophyticus can be differentiated from another coagulase-negative staphylococcus by its resistance to Novobiocin. Like other uropathogens, S. saprophyticusutilizes urease to produce ammonia. | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29493989/ |

However, unlike many of these organisms, it cannot reduce nitrate. S. saprophyticusis part of the normal human flora that colonizes the perineum, rectum, urethra, cervix, and gastrointestinal tract. It has also been found that S. saprophyticus is a common gastrointestinal flora in pigs and cows and thus may be transferred to humans through eating these respective foods.

Patients with UTI caused by S. saprophyticus usually present with symptomatic cystitis. Signs and symptoms of renal involvement are also often registered. The urine sediment of a patient with UTI caused by S. saprophyticus has a characteristic appearance microscopically. Chemical screening methods for bacteriuria do not always succeed in diagnosing UTI caused by S. saprophyticus. Even when such an infection occurs above the neck of the bladder, low numbers of colony-forming units (less than 10(5) cfu/ml) of S. saprophyticus are comparatively often found in the bladder and voided urine. | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6377440/ |

Purpose and Introduction
The Earth's surface is changing rapidly. Changes are local, regional, national, and even global in scope. Some changes have natural causes, such as earthquakes or drought. Other changes, such as urban expansion, agricultural intensification, resource extraction, and water resources development, are examples of human-induced change that have significant impact upon people, the economy, and resources. | https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/2004/circ1252/ |

Weathering and Erosion in Desert Environments
Mountains form because, over long periods of time, uplift proceeds faster than erosion can keep pace. Through time, erosion progressively carves canyons into mountainous areas. Mountain stream channels are self-perpetuating; as water gathers into rills and channels, the greater the flow, the greater the erosive force. Likewise, streams with steep drainage profiles are capable of moving more material. Without abundant water in the arid environment, the chemical breakdown of rocks proceeds extremely slowly relative to equivalent rocks in humid climates. However, it is somewhat paradoxical that the mechanical breakdown of rock proceeds relatively quickly in the arid climate. In wet regions, the ground remains partially or fully saturated. Plants typically cover the landscape and bind the soil, and hence, prevent erosion. In dry climates, soil forms very slowly, and much of the bedrock remains exposed to erosion. | https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1007/erosion.html |

Pediments and Alluvial Fans
Content: In the foreground, a relatively stable alluvial fan surface consists of desert pavement broken by braided stream channels and a patchwork of vegetation (mostly white bursage [gray] and creosote bush [green]). Total surface relief in this lower portion of the fan is in the range of one meter. The development of pediments and alluvial fans is progressive with the uplift of mountains and subsidence of adjacent basins. Pediments reflect a relative "static equilibrium" between erosion of materials from upland areas and deposition within an adjacent basin. The slope of the landscape is gentle enough that weathering and transport of sediments from upland areas and the pediment that no significant stream incision occurs. In many areas throughout the Mojave region it is nearly impossible to see where a pediment ends and alluvial fans begin, however, geophysical data and water-well drilling shows that in many places sediment filled basins do occur adjacent to pediment areas. The impact of climate change on alluvial fans has been the focus of much research. Studies show that a period of elevated alluvial fan deposition occurred between the time of the Last Glacial Maximum (about 15,000 years ago) and the beginning of arid conditions in the early Holocene (about 9,400 years ago). McDonald et al, (2003) suggest that the climatic transition from seasonable wet conditions to arid conditions, punctuated by extreme storm event (possibly associated with tropical cyclones) may be responsible for this change. Today, heavy rainfalls rarely provide enough precipitation to allow enough surface runoff to occur on highly porous soils and colluvium. | https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1007/fans.html |

Today, heavy rainfalls rarely provide enough precipitation to allow enough surface runoff to occur on highly porous soils and colluvium. Only during major stream event will water discharge in volume and intensity to move material from mountain source areas to lower fan areas. In addition to extreme storm events,the buildup of alluvial fan deposits at this Pleistocene/Holocene time transition may be linked with the transition from widespread plant cover to the more barren character of the modern Mojave landscape. Die-back of plants would decrease rooting, making more mountain-side material available for erosion and transport to alluvial fans. | https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1007/fans.html |

Content: That’s useful for getting a broad sense of the issues networks are focusing on, but it leaves out a big part of the picture. You’ve probably heard about the 24-hour news cycle—the phenomenon where reporters scramble to cover a breaking news event before it fades from the public eye and another item takes its place. Michael Flynn
Here’s an example of a news event that follows that pattern. This chart shows how frequently the word “Flynn” was used by the three networks over time. There’s a big spike on December 1, when Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, but coverage quickly tapers off. But that’s not always the case. Some news items are so big and persistent that they’re almost always in the spotlight. President Trump
Coverage of President Trump, for example, is near-constant. It ebbs and flows and there are slight differences between networks, but for the most part, it’s always there. Finally, there’s the “long tail” pattern. | https://pudding.cool/2018/01/chyrons/ |

10 things you didn’t know about gangs
A new paper takes a holistic view to illuminate why vulnerable, high-risk youth may find refuge in gangs.
Content: 2. At-risk youth may seek out gangs to find basic support and security. “ Through the process of gang involvement, the influence of peers is powerful as they fulfill the sense of belonging youth may not receive from their family, community, and school.” 3. Challenging home environments can make youth more vulnerable to gangs. The researchers explain that “some studies have found youth who are at greater risk of gang involvement come from single-parent households, homes struggling with issues of marital discord, homes where there is a prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse, homes with issues of physical and/or sexual abuse, and/or homes that have family members who are gang involved.” 4. Racism and racial discrimination in schools can influence students of color to seek acceptance and validation through gang membership when other familial or community resources are unavailable. 5. Poverty can make gang membership appear more attractive. “ | https://pullias.usc.edu/blog/10-things-didnt-know-gangs/ |

It’s unclear if gangs increase school violence. Gangs are often blamed for violence on school grounds, but “empirical studies examining the nexus between gangs and school violence on school grounds is scarce,” according to the researchers. 7. | https://pullias.usc.edu/blog/10-things-didnt-know-gangs/ |

Cover noses and mouths when coughing or sneezing: use tissue or the crook of your elbow when you cough or sneeze and throw the tissue away in a covered trash bin. Remind children to keep their hands away from their face to avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Clean surfaces often, including toys, doorknobs, phone receivers and keyboards. Avoid sharing personal items, such as forks, spoons, toothbrushes and towels. People with asthma should make sure their asthma symptoms are under control.

Great Big Story was a media company that produced micro-documentaries and was headed by CNN, but closed down in September 2020 due to continuous and irreversible financial strain. Great Big Story was one of the world’s most well-known media companies, and was based in New York City. The company was launched by CNN in 2015, and within its short period of operating, grew to become one of the most notable employers in the media industry. With the backing of CNN and resources of WarnerMedia’s sales organization, the company was set up with the correct ingredients to have longevity in the media space. However, according to Digiday, former employees have claimed that Great Big Story’s demise was due to a lack of leadership and poor planning from the holding companies. The coronavirus pandemic also had a great impact on the company, as it plummeted to only 25 percent of its sales goals for the year. The financial issues, however, stem from even before the pandemic, as it has reportedly failed to record any satisfactory annual profits in the five years of its operations. In September 2020, Great Big Story ultimately announced its immediate closure, citing massive financial problems as the main motivation for the closure. | https://punditweb.com/why-did-great-big-story-shut-down/ |

All puppies will go through a teething stage. It is important during this period of time as your puppy’s teeth are transitioning to provide your puppy with soft, flexible and bendable chews. If the chews are too hard to bend easily in your hand then they are too hard to give to your dog. Veterinarians recommend allowing these baby teeth to fall out on their own, do not try to pull them as these teeth have long roots and pulling them can lead to secondary infection. Is it Normal for Dogs to Lose their Teeth? It is normal for dogs to lose their baby or deciduous teeth starting around four to five months of age.

How to Truly Determine a Dog’s Age in Human Years
Content: A puppy gets all of his baby teeth by 8 weeks of age and permanent ones by 7 months, according to WebMD. A dog 1 to 2 years old has little tartar buildup, and a dog up to 5 years old has some wear and yellowing of the teeth. Dogs over 5 years old may have serious tartar buildup and dental disease. Senior dogs, over 10, may also show signs of graying fur, cataracts and joint disease. Step 2
Determine if your dog’s size is considered small, medium or large. Small dogs weigh less than 20 pounds, medium dogs range between 21 and 50 pounds and large dogs are over 50 pounds in size. While most dogs age at the same rate until they reach 5 years old, after this age, larger breeds age more rapidly than smaller ones, affecting the calculation of the dog’s age in human years. Step 3
Calculate the approximate human age of your puppy by multiplying the age in months by 2 for puppies up to 5 months old. Puppies age very rapidly during their first year of life, especially during these first 5 months, a rate of growth which decreases as the dog approaches his first year of life. Multiply the age in months by 1.5 for puppies from 6 months old to 8 months old to account for the decreased rate of aging. | https://puppytoob.com/doggy-tips/how-to-truly-determine-a-dogs-age-in-human-years/ |

While a teacher herself could not give a statement in support of a particular sect, a student is free to do so. Remember that the Constitution prohibits the government (including a teacher which is a representative of the government) from sponsoring a particular sect. A student is free to do so at school so long as their efforts are not endorsed by the school. A student’s religious beliefs expressed in a classroom are protected by the Freedom of Expression.

One of the chapters in QBQ! is called “I Can Only Change Me” and in this chapter Miller reminds us that when dealing with any circumstance the only person that can change is – one’s self. Perhaps you’re a supervisor who’s dealing with a difficult employee. You do your best to change the employee’s attitude and nothing is working. The attitude you should be changing is your own. A supervisor’s role is to coach and counsel – not to change another person. Change is something that occurs internally – a result of decisions made by the individual. The same applies for the reverse – an employee who works for a difficult supervisor. | https://qbq.com/a-readers-summary-of-qbq/ |

Blackman’s law of limiting factor:
Content: Leaves with Kranz anatomy are more efficient in photosynthesis. Blackman’s law of limiting factor: F. Blackman (1905) stated that “when a process is conditioned as to its rapidity by a number of separate factors, the rate of the process is limited by the pace of the slowest factor. ” This law is termed as Blackman’s law of limiting factor. It can be explained by the following example. Suppose a leaf is subjected to a light intensity, sufficient for the assimilation of 5 mg carbon dioxide per hour. Under these conditions, if a plant is supplied with only one 1 mg of carbon dioxide, the rate of photosynthesis would be limited by carbon dioxide (because concentration of carbon dioxide is less than what can be assimilated in the available intensity of light). Now if the carbon dioxide concentration is gradually increased, the rate of photosynthesis will also increase correspondingly until the assimilation rate of 5 mg carbon dioxide per hour has been reached. However, further increase in carbon dioxide concentration, i.e., more than 5 mg per hour will not increase the rate of photosynthesis. This is because the light now becomes the limiting factor. | https://qforquestions.com/factors-affecting-photosynthesis/ |

However, further increase in carbon dioxide concentration, i.e., more than 5 mg per hour will not increase the rate of photosynthesis. This is because the light now becomes the limiting factor. Under these circumstances, any further increase in the rate of photosynthesis can be brought about only if there is an increase in the light intensity. The above experiment shows that of all the factors, the photosynthetic rate depends upon the factor which is present in relatively minimum concentration. This factor is known as “limiting factor.” All other factors present in optimum or maximum concentration will not be able to increase the rate of photosynthesis until the amount of limiting factor is increased correspondingly.

America- The Modern Day Imperialist
Content: The US transnational companies are allowed to exploit the economies of poorer nations with the help of its structural adjustment programs, imposed in return for a forgone debt. Such programs only worsen the crisis in these countries leaving the people with catastrophic consequences. This was pioneered during the Mexican currency crisis of 1982. With its emergency bailout plan, IMF coerced Mexico into implementing neoliberal programs which just lead to further deprivation in the country. The effect was destroyed lives and communities in Mexico and an improving US economy where the consumption of the urban middle class was subsidized by the impoverishment of the Mexican labor. Cultural imperialism, the promotion and imposition of a culture, usually of politically powerful nations is also a heavy trait of the US. It is not currently the only cultural imperialist. But today, as a global economic and political super power, the spread of American values in the entire world is leading to the spread of Western goods and consumerist culture. But this is effectively leading to the destruction of local markets and cultures, which is eroding any sense of cultural diversity in this constantly converging culturally hegemonic society. But this is not limited to just the influx of Western products and services but also Western ideas of freedom, free trade, democracy, etc. | https://qrius.com/america-modern-day-imperialist/ |

Thomas Friedman correctly pointed this out when he said that the McDonald’s cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas. And as Imperialism usually does, it is again creating a wide economic gap, not just around the world but within America itself. The ‘corporatization of America’ is shifting decision making powers from the government to private firms. It is making the top income earners rich at the cost of lower middle class and the poorer citizens becoming even poorer. | https://qrius.com/america-modern-day-imperialist/ |

Content: A heartier, more indulgent portion may be 8 ounces or more. Also known as “quarters” and “halves,” 1.25 and 1.5-pound lobsters are the commonly ordered sizes. There are legal limits, both small and large, to the size of lobsters that can be harvested and sold commercially. Lobsters with a carapace under 3.25 inches or over 5 inches are prohibited as part of sustainable harvesting practices and protecting the entire lobster population. This translates into available lobster sizes ranging from 1 pound up to about 4 pounds. Lobster traps are designed to aid in only harvesting lobster with the legal limits: If a lobster is too small to keep, it can simply escape through the slats in the trap. Bigger Lobsters are Harder to Cook
Once you get above a 2 or at most 3-pound lobster, there are a couple things to consider before placing your order. To some extent, larger lobsters aren’t as sweet and flavorful as quarters and halves, but this difference is minimal especially when compared to the difference of cold-water Maine lobster (known for its sweet and flavorful taste) and warm-water lobsters. Often, a bigger issue is getting a good consistent cook with the lobster meat cooked all the way through without overcooking and rubberizing the exterior surface of meat. | https://qualityseafooddelivery.com/2019/01/29/what-size-lobster-to-buy/ |

Often, a bigger issue is getting a good consistent cook with the lobster meat cooked all the way through without overcooking and rubberizing the exterior surface of meat. Plus, along with a high degree of confidence in your boiling and cooking method, you will also need an oversized boiling pot (even for lobster) to accommodate the biggest-size lobsters. Prices May Vary
Quarters and halves are, by far, the most popular sizes for lobster orders. They’re also most frequently caught and in the greatest supply. Thus, bigger lobsters are often, but not always, more expensive per pound—at least for the lobster itself. Especially when accounting for the shipping costs, the price is often about the same or even cheaper as smaller lobster. | https://qualityseafooddelivery.com/2019/01/29/what-size-lobster-to-buy/ |

Content: Both Athens and Thebes had oligarchies at this time. An oligarchy is a group of aristocrats (rich men) who tell everyone else what to do. Then in the 600s and 500s BC tyrants took over a lot of Greek city-states. A tyrant was usually one of the aristocrats who got power over the others by getting the support of the poor people. Tyrants ruled alone, kind of like kings, but without any legal right to rule. A tyrant was like a Mafia boss: he had power, and he had the support of the people. The tyrant’s power was informal, and often violent. On the other hand, to get the support of the people, tyrants often did help people. Sometimes they redistributed land, or forgave people’s debts, for example. | https://quatr.us/greeks/ancient-greek-government.htm |

Revolution of 1848
In 1848, working people in Germany tried to get more power by revolution, just as they had earlier that year in France and in Austria-Hungary. They wanted freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, a written constitution, and an elected parliament. So they wanted the vote. Karl Marx was involved.

But the revolution failed. Many of its leaders and supporters left Germany for the United States or for Brazil. Who was Otto von Bismarck? Then in the 1860s the prime minister of Prussia, Bismarck, succeeded in combining Prussia and Germany into a big German Empire. His German Empire covered the whole middle of Europe. | https://quatr.us/modern-europe/germany-1800s-bismarck.htm |

Hendrick, an Iroquois leader, in 1740 AD
By the 1700s, clothing styles had changed more. There were not so many deer on the East Coast anymore, so deerskin was harder to get. Most people gave up wearing deerskin and started to wear wool and linen clothing. Because Christian settlers on the East Coast thought it was wrong to show your skin or hair, Iroquois and Cherokee women on the East Coast started to wear clothes more of the time. Like European women, they covered their hair with scarves, and wore their skirts longer, down to their ankles. Joseph Badger – Faith Savage Waldo, 1750
Men who wanted to seem stylish began to dress more like European men. Over their linen shirts, they wore wool breeches (shorts) and linen stockings (knee socks), and wool jackets or waistcoats. In the very end of the 1700s, in 1793, Eli Whitney invented a new kind of cotton gin that let people grow a lot more cotton much cheaper than before, and quickly both Native American people and settlers began to wear cotton clothing instead of the more expensive linen and wool.

Why Is Dressing Modestly Important? Allison Stevens
Christian life, Ethics ethics, modesty, sex, sexuality
Is dressing modestly just an outdated cultural standard from the 50s? Turn on the television, go to the movies, or flip through the pages of just about any magazine and it appears that our society has lost the value of modesty. People dress in clothing and styles that are designed to reveal and to bring considerable attention to their bodies. To suggest that we need to dress with modesty is often looked on as “restraining” or “limiting our freedom.” This argument, however, overlooks the personal rewards of living and dressing modestly. Modesty in dress sends a message of purity and honor. It puts an emphasis on and values the inner person over outward attractiveness. It says that a person is worth far more than what meets the eye. | https://questions.org/attq/why-is-dressing-modestly-important/ |

Content: There is a depth of character that rises above beauty or charm. When we dress modestly, we are saying that we posses inner qualities for which we should gain appropriate attention and value from others. When we choose to dress in a provocative way, we send a message that we believe our value comes from our looks rather than from our heart. Skimpy clothing says that our worth is in our sex appeal. This is a weak foundation to build self-esteem or self-worth. What happens when we age and the wrinkles start showing? Where will the sense of value and worth come from then? For various reasons (e.g. past sexual abuse, low self-esteem) some believe that their worth comes from how good they look and how many heads they can turn. But that can leave a person feeling empty and alone. All of us, ultimately, want to be pursued and loved deeply because of our hearts and minds, not for our bodies. | https://questions.org/attq/why-is-dressing-modestly-important/ |

Content: It means that they should not use their God-given beauty for selfish, self-centered reasons, like competing with other women or gaining the lustful attention of men. Modesty demonstrates self-control, which is a fruit of the Holy Spirit ( Galatians 5:22-23 ). Those who understand the principles of modesty acknowledge human sexuality and the tendency toward self-promotion. But they control those inclinations by choosing to express themselves with humility. Immodesty, on the other hand, can create a false sense of security and self-esteem because it puts too much emphasis on outward appearance. It can be difficult to maintain modesty when we think of it in terms of it being “limiting.” But if we consider the personal rewards of modesty — self-respect, honor, and self-control — the price is too high not to be modest.

Small Business Tip: Manage Accounts Receivable To Boost Cash Flow
Accounts Payable
Business owners also need cash to make payroll, pay vendors, and possibly for debt payments. Your accounts payable balance represents bills you must pay within 12 months and that balance is a current liability. Thus, you need to access a line of credit or raise more capital through a stock or bond offering if cash inflows are insufficient. Hence, a business needs to manage cash effectively to avoid excess cash or cash deficits. III. Determining Optimal Cash Balance
It is important for a business to have an ideal cash balance in order to meet its day to day obligations. Also, it needs cash that is sufficient enough to provide a cushion to business in unforeseen times. So, a business needs to consider following factors to determine the optimal cash balance: risk associated with maintaining a given cash balance
returns expected as an outcome of maintaining such a cash balance
Thus, a business suffers from cash shortage if it maintains a small amount of cash balance. | https://quickbooks.intuit.com/in/resources/accountants-and-bookkeepers-accountants-and-bookkeepers/top-cash-management-strategies-to-manage-cash-effectively/ |

Try QuickBooks Invoicing & Accounting Software – 30 Days Free Trial. Every business needs sufficient amount of working capital to run its operations smoothly. Furthermore, it needs to utilize its working capital in the most efficient way possible. This is to ensure maximum return on investment and utilization of fixed assets productively. This is possible only if various elements of working capital are managed proficiently. Thus, Current assets and current liabilities form the major components of working capital as per the working capital equation. Current Assets typically include: Cash and cash equivalents
Inventory
Accounts Receivable
Marketable Securities
Prepaid Expenses
Other Liquid Assets
Whereas current liabilities include: Accounts Payable
Notes Payable
Current Portion of Long Term Debt
Accrued Liabilities
Unearned Revenues
Hence, mismanagement of any of these components may lead to severe consequences. This may include even going out of business in certain cases. | https://quickbooks.intuit.com/in/resources/finance-and-accounting/working-capital-management/ |

The result of a consumer being able to buy the product at the equilibrium price when that price is below what the consumer would be willing to pay for the product
Kinked-demand Curve
The demand curve facing a firm in a non-collusive oligopoly that is based on the assumption that competitors will not follow a price increase and will follow a price decrease
Monopolistic Competition
The market structure characterized by many small sellers who produce differentiated products. The firm has some degree of control over product price
Non-price Competition
Competition that is based upon advertising and distinguishing features of a differentiated product
Oligopoly
The market structure characterized by a few large firms that produce either standardized or differentiated product, where entry into the industry is difficult, and where there is a great deal of interdependence between the decisions made by the firms
Perfect Elastic Demand
The demand for the product is perfectly responsive to a price change and suggests that the producer can sell whatever amount they wish at that price
Perfectly Elastic Demand Curve
A curve that is horizontal at the market price
Price Discrimination
The practice of selling a product or service at different prices to different consumers when those price differences are not justified by cost differences. It can occur when different consumers have different elasticities of demand for the product
Price Wars
Successive rounds of price cutting by firms in an attempt to maintain market share
Producer Surplus
A situation that exists when producers are able to sell their product above the price they would have been willing to accept
Pure (Perfect) Competition
The market structure characterized by a large number of sellers producing a standardized product with easy entry and exit into and out of the industry, and information that is free and readily available. The seller has no ability to influence and product price
Pure Monopoly
The market structure within the industry consisting of one firm producing a unique product. The firm tends to have a significant amount of pricing power and control over the supply of the product
Assumptions of Perfect Competition
There are many small independently acting buyers and seller, firms produce standardized or homogeneous products, each firm produces small portion of total output, there is free entry into and exit from industry, no legal, technological or financial barriers, information is free and readily available, firms face a perfectly elastic demand curve, price = average revenue = marginal revenue, firms make economic profit and there is an incentive for new firms to enter the market
Assumptions or monopolistic competition
There are a relatively large number of independent and small buyers and sellers, there is free entry and exit from the industry, firms are producing differentiated products
Characteristics of monopolistic competition
The firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve and a marginal revenue is less than price, there tends to be significant use of advertising as a form of non-price competition, product differentiation lead the firm competing on quality, price, and marketing, firms can make an economic profit in the short-run, the existence of economic profit provides an incentive for firms to enter the industry, entry will continue until economic profit disappears
Assumptions of Oligopoly
There are a small number of relatively large firms, firms may produce either a standardized or differentiated product, firms in the industry are interdependent, firms tend to engage in non-price competition
Characteristics of oligopoly
Firms face a downward sloping demand curve and have some degree of control over prices, there generally are barriers to the entry for new firms into the industry, including economies of scale, and ownership of raw materials, patents brands, firms can benefit from collusion
Characteristics of kinked demand
A firm will not gain market share by lowering prices and thus revenue would fall, a firm would lose market share if it raises prices, and thus revenue would falls, if competitors fail to understand this logic, there is a strong possibility of price wars and advertising wars
Price Leadership
Another form of competition in oligopoly, it often results in an implicit agreement that coordinates prices without having the firms engage in illegal collusion which include, infrequent price changes, potential impending price changes are announced by price leader, goal is not to maximize short-term profit but rather to discourage the entry of new firms
Characteristics of a monopoly
The monopolist has strong barriers to entry, faces a downward sloping demand curve with marginal revenue less than price, may have its monopoly position derived from government action, will tend to set price in the elastic range of their demand curve, tends to have less incentive to innovate and improve efficiency
