Questions
You are required to analyse the internet browser market and should answer the questions below.
1. Outline the change in market shares by the major internet browser in either the UK or the European Union (EU) over the last 5 to10 years. Analyse the structure of the UK or EU browser market. To do this, you should;
• identify the main companies involved and their market shares.
• explain what type of market structure exists, with supporting evidence.
• explain, using economic diagrams, how price, output and abnormal profits are determined by a typical firm (ie: one browser company) which is operating in the market.

2. What are ‘barriers to entry’, and which ones do you think are significant in this case? Explain your answer referring to your answer in question 2.
