Compare monopoly and monopolistic competition?
A monopoly is a market which has only one firm, the firm has market power, and there are barriers to entry. The long run profits for a monopolist may be greater than zero. Monopolistic competition is more closely related to perfect competition than monopoly. In monopolistic competition, there are many firms in the market. However, each firm has product differentiation. An example of monopolistic competition would be the jeans industry. There are many different types/quality of jeans e.g. True Religion, Levi's and Lee's. Products are somewhat differentiated, but, as in perfect competition, the long run profit = 0. Oligopoly is a market in which there are only a few firms, each firm has market power, and there is much product differentiation between the firms. The long-run profit of oligopoly can be greater than zero, because there are barriers to entry in the market.
What is meant by market structure?
An oligopoly is an intermediate market structure between the extremes of perfect competition and monopoly. Oligopoly firms might compete (noncooperative oligopoly) or cooperate (cooperative oligopoly) in the Marketplace.
What is the difference between oligo polistic competition and pure monopolistic competition?
In monopolistic competition, firms capture monopoly profits through specialisation of their product, making it non-substitutable with competing firms' products. In oligopolistic competition, this does not occur. Instead, three are three general outcomes: 1) firms collude to mimic a monopoly and share monopoly profits; 2) a dominant firm leads the market and sets the price; 3) firms compete freely and but take each other's decisions into account.
What is oligopolistic theory?
An oligopolistic competition is a type of competition between multiple large firms. In this situation, they make up a big part of a market share.
