  • Monopoly and Monopsony Power in a Market for Mud
    Monopoly and Monopsony Power in a Market for Mud This article describes an unusual market I use in my intermediate microeconomics courses to illustrate characteristics of monopoly and monopsony power. For over sixty years the Lena Blackburne Rubbing Mud (LBRM) company has been the sole supplier of mud taken from a Delaware River tributary that is applied to all baseballs used by Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The unique quality of the mud removes the shine and slickness of new baseballs. Students must explain why LBRM is or is not a monopoly and recognize the source of MLB’s monopsony power. Edward Scahill† †University of Scranton © 2020 Journal of Economics Teaching. All rights reserved. Scahill / Journal of Economics Teaching (2020) 1. Introduction A monopoly is an enterprise that is the only seller of a good or service… Before and during the period of the classical economics (roughly 1776–1850), most people believed that… [the] only monopolies that could persist… were those that got the government to exclude rivals… Even today, most important enduring monopolies or near monopolies in the United States rest on government policies…Monopolies that exist independent of government support are likely to be due to smallness of markets (the only druggist in town) or to rest on temporary leadership in innovation…(Stigler) Although most students in my intermediate economics courses understand the graphical analysis of monopoly and the impact of monopoly power on economic welfare, it is a challenge to find actual examples of monopoly power that engage their interest.1 Although dominant firms in many markets have some degree of monopoly power, the number of “pure” monopolies – sole providers of a good or service that have no close substitutes - are rare.

  • Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar
    Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar Lord Nelson and the early years Horatio Nelson was born in Norfolk in 1758. As a young child he wasn’t particularly healthy but he still went on to become one of Britain’s greatest heroes. Nelson’s father, Edmund Nelson, was the Rector of Burnham Thorpe, the small Norfolk village in which they lived. His mother died when he was only 9 years old. Nelson came from a very big family – huge in fact! He was the sixth of 11 children. He showed an early love for the sea, joining the navy at the age of just 12 on a ship captained by his uncle. Nelson must have been good at his job because he became a captain at the age of 20. He was one of the youngest-ever captains in the Royal Navy. Nelson married Frances Nisbet in 1787 on the Caribbean island of Nevis. Although Nelson was married to Frances, he fell in love with Lady Hamilton in Naples in Italy. They had a child together, Horatia in 1801. Lord Nelson, the Sailor Britain was at war during much of Nelson’s life so he spent many years in battle and during that time he became ill (he contracted malaria), was seriously injured. As well as losing the sight in his right eye he lost one arm and nearly lost the other – and finally, during his most famous battle, he lost his life. Nelson’s job helped him see the world. He travelled to the Caribbean, Denmark and Egypt to fight battles and also sailed close to the North Pole.

  • The History of Napoleon Buonaparte
    THE HISTORY OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE JOHN GIBSON LOCKHART CHAPTER I BIRTH AND PARENTAGE OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE—HIS EDUCATION AT BRIENNE AND AT PARIS—HIS CHARACTER AT THIS PERIOD—HIS POLITICAL PREDILECTIONS—HE ENTERS THE ARMY AS SECOND LIEUTENANT OF ARTILLERY—HIS FIRST MILITARY SERVICE IN CORSICA IN 1793. Napoleon Buonaparte was born at Ajaccio on the 15th of August, 1769. The family had been of some distinction, during the middle ages, in Italy; whence his branch of it removed to Corsica, in the troubled times of the Guelphs and Gibellines. They were always considered as belonging to the gentry of the island. Charles, the father of Napoleon, an advocate of considerable reputation, married his mother, Letitia Ramolini, a young woman eminent for beauty and for strength of mind, during the civil war— when the Corsicans, under Paoli, were struggling to avoid the domination of the French. The advocate had espoused the popular side in that contest, and his lovely and high-spirited wife used to attend him through the toils and dangers of his mountain campaigns. Upon the termination of the war, he would have exiled himself along with Paoli; but his relations dissuaded him from this step, and he was afterwards reconciled to the conquering party, and protected and patronised by the French governor of Corsica, the Count de Marbœuff. It is said that Letitia had attended mass on the morning of the 15th of August; and, being seized suddenly on her return, gave birth to the future hero of his age, on a temporary couch covered with tapestry, representing the heroes of the Iliad.

Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught December 2011 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT “Trafalgar Refought”: The Professional and Cultural Memory of Horatio Nelson During Britain’s Navalist Era, 1880-1914. (December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

  • The Battle of Trafalgar
    The Battle of Trafalgar When was the Battle Of Trafalgar? It happened on 21 October 1805 off Cape Trafalgar on the coast of south west Spain. Who was involved? The battle was between the Royal Navy and a force made up of Spanish and French ships. The Royal Navy, under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson, had 27 ships. The French and Spanish forces, under Admiral Pierre de Villeneuve, had 33 ships. Why did the battle take place? The French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was gearing up to invade England. He had already taken over other parts of Europe and wanted to expand his empire. The two sides were in hot pursuit of each other, then they met up at Trafalgar. What happened at the battle? The French and Spanish ships were lined up in a row. Instead of lining up against them, Nelson decided to Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory attack them by forming two columns of ships, with the aim of pushing through the enemy lines and separating their ships into smaller groups. As the battle started, Nelson made a signal, using flags, to his men from his ship, HMS Victory. It said: "England expects that every man will do his duty'. He later followed that with: "Engage the enemy more closely'. The Royal Navy succeeded in piercing the enemy line. By 4.30pm, the battle was over as the last of the French and Spanish forces surrendered or were overwhelmed. What happened to Nelson? It was a great victory for the Royal Navy, but they lost the man who had led the attack.

  • Calculus Challenge #14 Calculus at the Battle of Trafalgar
    Calculus Challenge #14 Calculus at the Battle of Trafalgar The summer of 2005 marked the 200th anniversary of the British naval victory over a combined French and Spanish fleet in the waters off Cape Trafalgar. During the Napoleonic wars, naval warfare followed certain rules that seem rather formal to us today. The ships in each fleet lined up in a row sailing parallel to its opponent and fired as they sailed past each other (see Figure 1). This maneuver was repeated until one fleet was disabled or sunk. This is known as the directed fire model or conventional combat model. Figure 1: The White Fleet takes a beating In such an engagement, the fleet with superior firepower will inevitably win. To model this battle, we begin with a system of differential equations that models the interaction of two fleets in combat. Suppose we have two opposing forces, fleet A with A0 and fleet B with B0 ships initially, and A(t) and B(t) ships t units of time after the battle is engaged. Given the style of combat at the time of Trafalgar, the losses for each fleet will be proportional to the effective firepower of the opposing fleet. That is, dA dB =−bB and =−aA, dt dt where a and b are positive constants that measure the effectiveness of the ship’s cannonry and personnel and A and B are both functions of time. These equations indicate that the rate at which one navy lost ships depended only on two things: the number of ships in the opposing fleet and the effectiveness of the opposition fire.
