Market Structure

If you have Stats and Econ at the same time, you should look at the market structures of different companies to see if you can get points in both classes.

• You can look at this website, http://www.the-numbers.com/market/Distributors. It tells you all about movie stats, for ticket sales and what not, but it also tells market shares, and how many companies there are that create movies. This site can show which market structure movie are along with a tons of statistics about this market.

• You can use this website, http://www.netmarketshare.com/mobile-phones.aspx?qprid=9&qpcustomb=1&qpcustom=iOS,Android, to find out a lot about the cell phone industry like Apple vs. Samsung. vs Windows.

• You can use this website, http://www.fiercewireless.com/special-reports/grading-top-10-us-carriers-first-quarter-2013, to find out more about cell phone providers and you can decide what market structure along with which one is the biggest and or seemingly best.

• You can use this website, http://wap.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-autosales.html#autosalesE, to look at the market shares about different auto maker brands and also just get any random facts you want.

After you get all this information you should be able to tell which market structure each is and explain the statistical reasons why and the economic reasons why because they really tie in together. You may have to talk with Ms. Haeussinger or whoever is teaching Econ about how you can get points for this, and also talk to Mr. Pethan to find out how he wants the information presented. There are many directions you can take this project.
