Assess the effects of increased regulation on big tech companies operating in monopolistic or oligopolistic markets.
Topic #2: Examine recent antitrust cases and regulations aimed at curbing the market power of big tech firms like Google, Amazon, and Facebook.
Elasticities: Analyze the cross-price elasticity of demand between the services offered by these companies and potential competitors. Consider how regulation might affect consumer choices and prices.
Market Structures: Evaluate the impact of regulatory measures on market structures, potentially transforming monopolistic or oligopolistic markets into more competitive ones.
Marginal Utilities: Investigate the changes in consumer marginal utilities resulting from increased competition and the potential for improved service quality and innovation.
Students should assess how effective regulations are in reducing market concentration, enhancing consumer welfare, and promoting fair competition without stifling innovation in the tech sector.
