Structural Factors Clause Samples
The 'Structural factors' clause defines the physical or organizational elements that influence the execution or performance of an agreement. This may include aspects such as the layout of a building, the availability of infrastructure, or the internal hierarchy of a company, depending on the context of the contract. By clearly identifying these factors, the clause ensures that both parties are aware of any limitations or requirements imposed by the existing structure, thereby reducing misunderstandings and helping to allocate responsibility for addressing or accommodating these factors.
Structural Factors. This theme sought to explore structural factors that were crucial determinants of care engagement among African American women of reproductive age. Several different subthemes emerged, including housing, reproductive counseling, and hospital staff (friendliness and flexibility of staff, inconvenient hours/process for medical care/medication pick-up). Housing and housing support, which could also be linked to social isolation, were explored among the three defined care groups (Table 1).

Structural Factors. Concentration Other things being equal, collusion is the more likely the smaller the number of firms in the industry. The comparison between gains and losses from deviations illustrates why this is the case. Imagine that there are many firms of identical size and of large capacity which co-exist in the industry. At a collusive situation, each of them will set a high price and get a (small) share of the total profits. However, if one of them deviates and sets a price lower than the rivals, it might get all the market for itself. Even if the punishment was harsh, so that a very small stream of expected profits would follow after a deviation, the gains from deviating would be so extraordinarily large in the deviation period that they would outweigh the collusive profits foregone during the punishment period. Compare this situation with the extreme one where there are only two firms in the industry. At a collusive equilibrium, they would get half the market, so that the gains from deviating are smaller relative to the lower profits due to the punishment which follows. If firms are symmetric, a lower number of firms is equivalent to a higher degree of concentration, which is therefore associated - ceteris paribus - with more likely (tacit or explicit) collusion. However, we shall see below that the more firms are asymmetric (in ca- pacities, market shares, costs, or product range) the less likely collusion will be. This qualifies the finding that concentration facilitates collusion, in the following sense. If a measure of concentration rises with the asymmetric distribution of assets among the firms - as is the case with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Index (see chapter S) - then one should expect an ambiguous relationship between concentration and collusion: such a measure confounds two factors - higher average market share and asymmetry - that aDect col- lusion in opposite ways. If instead the measure of concentration used does not vary with asymmetry - like for the concentration ratios, C&, that sum the market shares of the h largest firms in the industry - then an increase in in the industry the easier for them to coordinate their behaviour. Cntry The easier entry into an industry (the lower entry barriers) the more di9cult to sustain collusive prices. When prices and profits are high, new firms will be attracted into the industry, and this tends to disrupt the col- lusive outcome, by two possible mechanisms. Suppose first that the entrant does not want to pursu...
Structural Factors. Structural factors fall outside of the sphere of control and agency of the woman. They include the broader environment, such as political and legal factors, that influence care engagement and adherence.
