This is one of the five economic goals, specifically one of the two micro goals (the other being equity).

Topic: Imperfect Competition <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • A review of the two remaining market structure options -- monopsonistic competition and oligopsony.

  • Monopsonistic competition is a market structure characterized by a large number of small buyers, that purchase similar but not identical inputs, have relative freedom of entry into and exit out of the industry, and extensive knowledge of prices and technology.
  • Oligopsony is a market structure dominated by a small number of large buyers controlling the buying-side of a market.
  • Both are somewhat obscure and seldom discussed buying counterparts to monopolistic competition and oligopoly sellers.
