  • That oligopoly lies close to monopoly on the market structure spectrum, but that there is no clear-cut dividing line between oligopoly and monopolistic competition.
  • A few of the real world oligopoly markets, including automobile, computers, petroleum, tires, banking, long distance, television, and airlines.
