This paper develops a theoretical framework for and models optimal price setting by on-course bookmakers in the racetrack betting market. This framework suggests that opening prices should include a premium that compensates bookmakers for the risk that insiders will account for private information and exploit any mis-pricing made by the bookmakers. The model is an extension of the model developed by Makropoulou and Markellos (2007) for football betting to the racetrack betting market. Using an extensive dataset and performing Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the potential value of new information, we measure insider trading in the Australian racetrack betting market.

The author uses microeconomic approach to compare optimal price, input and output quantity setting for a firm in a competitive industry and with market power. Revealed profit maximization principle is applied to draw a conclusion that production technology plays a fundamental role in cost determination for a monopoly and a competitive firm. Production technology is a key factor that promotes both centrifugal, contending and centripetal, integrative trends in a modern economy.
