Market Structures
Our investigation into market structures lays the foundation for a closer examination of monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. This lesson takes a look at how markets are structured based on their competitiveness, the degree of market control held by firms, the acquisition of this market control, and the use market control. - The first unit of this lesson, Competition And Control, begins this lesson with a look at competition and market control.
- In the second unit, Four Types, we examine the four basic types of market structures -- perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly.
- The third unit, Getting Control, then looks at two key ways that firms are able to acquire or increase their market control -- product differentiation and entry barriers.
- In the fourth unit, Using Control, we investigate what firms do when they have market control.
- The fifth and final unit, Government, then closes this lesson by considering the role government plays in regulating market control.
