CHAEBOL: A form of business structure common in South Korean which involves an alliance of businesses, each working toward the mutual success of the group. The alliance also has close ties to government. This is comparable to the keiretsu, which is common in Japan. Each "independent" business owns stock in the others and shares executives and directors.

    Factor Market Equilibrium

    My duties for this lesson are to examine how the two sides of the factor market -- factor demand and factor supply -- come together to form the factor market. Like other markets, we are concerned with equilibrium and competition. The analysis of factor markets has an added bonus. It lets us examine market control from the buying side to balance other analysis of market control from the selling side. The cornerstone phrase capturing this buying-side market control is monopsony.

    • The first unit of this lesson, The Foundation, begins by reviewing factor demand and factor supply and seeing how they come together to form the factor market.
    • In the second unit, Market Control, we see how market control on the selling side of a factor market gives rise to assorted market structures, like monopsony.
    • The third unit, Perfect Competition, then takes a look at equilibrium in factor markets that operate under the guidelines of perfect competition.
    • In the fourth unit, Monopsony, we extend the analysis to factor markets with control on the buying side, especially monopsony.
    • The fifth and final unit, Bilateral Monopoly, then analyzes factor markets with monopoly control on the selling side to counter monopsony control on the buying side.

    Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time flipping through mail order catalogs hoping to buy either a how-to book on meeting people or clothing for your pet iguana. Be on the lookout for a thesaurus filled with typos.
    Your Complete Scope

    This isn't me! What am I?

    In the Middle Ages, pepper was used for bartering, and it was often more valuable and stable in value than gold.
    "Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires...courage."

    -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
