Chapter 7: Market Structures
The Big Picture:
Perfect Competition. Most competitive, ideal model of a market economy. Monopolistic Competition. Highly competitive, distinguished by
product differentiation and non-price competition. Oligopoly. Less competitive, a few firms dominate a market. Monopoly. Least
competitive, fairly rare in a market economy. Role of Government. May allow a natural monopoly (public utilities) when one supplier can
provide a service most efficiently. Regulates utilities to protect consumers. Patents give inventors exclusive property rights over their
invention or process for a limited period of time. Results in technological monopolies. Antitrust laws promote competition by allowing
mergers that benefit consumers and blocking mergers that increase market concentration or lead to the elimination of possible
competitors.
