Question
Chapter 9, Problem 22AA
To determine
To state: Interdependence aspect of oligopoly.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 22AA
Oligopoly is a condition where there are less sellers for a specific product or service.
Explanation of Solution
Oligopoly refers to the market structure in which there are few sellers and thus all of them exercise a significant influence in the market. It is a form of imperfect competition. Interdependence is an important aspect in an oligopoly market. If any of the selling firms make a slight change in their product prices, it will directly hamper their rivals and they, in return, would change their prices too to sustain the market.
Economics Concept Introduction
Introduction: Oligopoly is the market condition in which there are less sellers and they have a considerable control in the market.
