> With data from 25 OECD countries over 15 years from 2000 to 2014, we find that a higher minimum wage decreases labor demand but does not affect labor supply. Our empirical results also suggest that relatively modest increases in minimu

I don't think marginal benefit of Jeff Bezos is what you are trying to measure. Consider, if a light bulb is broken having one Jeff Bezos replace it is hugely valuable. Adding a second Jeff Bezos to the situation doesn't help.

There wouldn't be! However, if your assumptions that consumers are all happy with amazon are incorrect and there are things they would like changed at amazon then there would be an advantage to collective bargaining to combat amazon&#x

No, I believe it will make them appear like a monopoly and the consumers as a monopsony. For example, imagine if amazon caves to the consumer group and makes toothpaste $1. Then suddenly the other sellers of toothpaste all charge $1. That w

As governments seem slow to action, would coordinating consumers shopping help combat the monopoly power of some industry? For example, having an app that notifies you to try and buy from a competitor like walmart for a few days to pressure

For a lot of 8 year olds that is accurate. Imagine not being able to read at 8. If your parents don't intervene you will be handicapped for life. On the other hand if your parents tutor you then it becomes a non-event.

Yeah, I guess I really don't have a handle on the complexity. Your heuristics seem useful. I've been just trying stuff for a month and seeing how they go. Trusting the professionals to guide me in semi-useful directions. Thanks.
