单项选择题
With respect to regulating a natural monopoly, which of the following pricing rules to regulate the natural monopoly firm will most likely require the government to provide a subsidy sufficient to compensate the firm in order to avoid the firm to leave the market()
A. Average cost pricing.
B. Marginal cost pricing.
C. Profit maximizing pricing.
答案
参考答案:B
解析:
如果政府对垄断者进行平均价格监管,企业将没有任何的超额利润,只能获得正常利润,如果政府对垄断者进行边际成本定价监管,可能使得产品价格低于企业的平均总成本,从而会使企业发生经济亏损,这时政府为了避免企业离开这个行业,会进行补贴或者允许企业进行差异化的定价,从而避免该企业离开这个市场。
