Explain the implications of the follwing in oligopoly market: (a) Barriers to entry of new firms (b) A few or a few big sellers |
|
Answer» (a) The main implication of barriers to entry is that such barriers allow only a limited number of firms into oligopoly industries. Such barriers may be in the form of huge capital requirements, patent rights, availability of crucial raw material etc. (b)A few or few big sellers has the implications that each big seller contributes a fairly large share of total output. This gives an individual seller the power of influencing the market price by changing own output. |
