    Prof Peate, So a monopoly firm is a price fixer. It isn't what the left fears about a monopoly; limited only by good will which greedy people don’t have much of. In reality there is always something in the market place that can sort of compete. Is there an economic term for the “sort of compete-ness”? Shouldn't that term be in the math for how easily other things can substitute?

  4. External cost vs. external benefit

    In the practice questions for the External Benefit video, you give us two scenarios. I think I understand how to calculate the size of the externality but can you go over how to decide whether a tax or subsidy is best to address each scenario?

  5. Please go over calculating average cost

    In your microeconomics course, there is a video about maximizing profit and the average cost curve. I'm not sure I understand how to answer this question -

    Hope you can help!

  7. Question on elasticity of demand for apartments.

    Hi! I'm confused by this question, which is from the "Calculating the Elasticity of Demand" video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrGiZ7aTlQo

    In your college town, real estate developers are building thousands of new student-friendly apartments close to campus. If you want to pay the lowest rent possible, should you hope that demand for apartments is elastic or inelastic?

    Can you explain how think through this problem?
