Economics Perspectives Sample Clauses

Economics Perspectives. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx conducted an empirical study of the MSA’s impact on the na- ture of competition in the cigarette industry.135 They found that the MSA payments effectively raised the federal per-pack tax on cigarettes by $0.44, but that cigarette firms raised prices by more than $1 in the first few years following the agreement.136 They explain this difference by showing that the MSA provided an opportunity for cigarette firms to agree to collectively raise prices.137 Xxx Xxxxx described the MSA as a “legal innovation in cartelization technology.”138 By “[m]aking damages contingent on future quantities sold,” the MSA increases the “manufacturers’ marginal cost and there- fore can predictably increase the price toward the monopoly level.”139 Further, by “[e]xempting a certain number of units produced (the ‘off- set’ amount) from the damage calculation,” the MSA enables the state to share the cartel profits with cigarette manufacturers.140 To Xxxxx, the bot- xxx line was that the MSA would anticompetitively raise market prices toward the monopoly level and deter new entry.141

  • Profitability The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by XXXX under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs to XXXX, and pre-tax profits realized by XXXX, from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed XXXX’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by XXXX in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also reviewed certain publicly available information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that, while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), DIMA and its affiliates’ overall profitability with respect to the DWS Funds (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by XXXX and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of most comparable firms for which such data was available. Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.
