The Price-Setting Process and the Price-Setting Real Wage
In the price-setting model, a firm's marketing department determines the price of its products. The price is set as a markup over the marginal cost of production, a strategy aimed at maximizing the firm's profits. The size of this markup is influenced by the level of competition in the market, as it is inversely related to the price elasticity of demand. The collective result of this price-setting behavior across all firms in the economy determines the price-setting real wage, which is the ratio of the nominal wage to the overall price level.
