INELASTIC DEMAND: Relatively large changes in demand price cause relatively smaller changes in quantity demanded. Inelastic demand means that changes in the quantity demanded are not very responsive to changes in the demand price. An inelastic demand has a coefficient of elasticity less than one (the negative value is ignored). You might want to compare inelastic demand to elastic demand, inelastic supply, and elastic supply.

MONOPSONISTIC COMPETITION: A market structure characterized by a large number of small buyers, that purchase but not identical inputs, relative freedom of entry into and exit out of the industry, and extensive knowledge of prices and technology. Monopsonistic competition is the somewhat obscure and seldom discussed buying counterpart to an monopolistic competition seller that controls the selling side of a market. Whereas monopolistic competition is most relevant to product markets, monopsonistic competition is most relevant to factor markets.

PERFECT COMPETITION, EFFICIENCY

Perfect competition is an idealized market structure that achieves an efficient allocation of resources. This efficiency is achieved because the profit-maximizing quantity of output produced by a perfectly competitive firm results in the equality between price and marginal cost. In the short run, this involves the equality between price and short-run marginal cost. In the long run, this is seen with the equality between price and long-run marginal cost at the minimum efficient scale of production.
