Exercise 31. Render into English. What characteristics of the perfect competition are typical for a taxi service market?
Совершенная конкуренция
Совершенную конкуренцию в реальном хозяйстве найти очень непросто. Рынок услуг частных такси является примером рынка, условия функционирования которого практически соответствуют модели совершенной конкуренции. В некоторых городах различных стран, в том числе России, организовать фирму по перевозке пассажиров может любой человек, владеющий легковой машиной и получивший лицензию на этот вид деятельности. Такая фирма будет состоять всего из одной машины и одного водителя. Вход в такую отрасль является достаточно легким. Обычно в любом городе находится достаточно людей, уже имеющих машины, но по каким-то причинам не имеющих выгодной работы. Эти люди легко могут использовать свою машину для создания фирмы по перевозке пассажиров, так как все затраты для выхода на рынок будут складываться из приобретения лицензии и изображения «шашечек» на какой-либо части машины. Кроме того, услуги частных такси достаточно однородны. Потребителям этих услуг практически безразлично, каким автомобилем воспользоваться, что добраться до определенного места.
Reference words:
перевозка пассажиров – conveyance of passengers
выгодная работа – high income job
шашечки – зд. special taxi signs
