OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A monopolist in one market is also an output-setting oligopolist in a separate market with the same demand and cost conditions. Should it be allowed to set a price in its monopoly market that differs from the price in the competitive market? When there is a single rival the regulated firm under uniform pricing restricts its output in the competitive market so that its market share is one-third. Social welfare is higher with uniform pricing. Welfare is also higher with uniform pricing if there is more than one rival despite the regulated firm selling nothing in the competitive market. Uniform pricing may promote entry and is socially preferred to discrimination in this case when demand is sufficiently convex. Similar results hold in a model where the competitive market has price-setting duopolists with differentiated products.
