Market Research
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
Microeconomic research/analysis of a specific industry in Canada (details of industry to be provided after). We require research only, please provide notes, analysis, and sources. No need for a paper or anything, just overall market research.
Determine the structure of the market: How concentrated is the market? Would you characterize the market as monopolized, competitive, or an oligopoly?
What is the nature of competitive and strategic interaction. For an oligopoly: how do firms compete? Please measure against Cournot model of oligopoly or Bertrand model (see which applies)
For a monopoly of oligopoly: what steps are the incumbents taking to strategically deter entry?
For those in monopolistic competition: What are the primary dimensions of differentiation? For a competitive market: is the market in equilibrium? (see if this applies, otherwise ignore)
