Perfect Competition and Monopoly
1. Economists recognize two main types of markets: perfect competition and monopoly. Perfect competition requires that the product of any seller be the same as the product of any other seller, that no buyer or seller be able to influence the price of the product, and that resources be able to switch readily from one use to another. Four conditions define the existence of a perfectly competitive market: 1) Firms sell a standardized product. In a perfectly competitive market, the product sold by one firm is assumed to be a perfect substitute for the other product sold by any other. 2) Firms are price takers. This means that the individual firm treats the market price of the product as given. 3) Factors of production are perfectly mobile in the long run. 4) Firms and consumers have perfect information. A firm has no reason to leave its current industry if it has no way of knowing about existence of more profitable opportunities elsewhere. Similarly, a consumer has no motive to switch from a high-priced product to a lower-priced one of identical quality unless he has information about the existence of the latter. Price and output under perfect competition are determined by the intersection of the market supply and demand curves. In the market period, supply is fixed. Thus, price is determined by demand alone.
2. A pure monopoly is a market with only one seller. Monopolies may occur because of patents, control over basic inputs, and government actions. The key feature that differentiates the monopoly from the competitive firm is the price elasticity of demand facing the firm. In the case of the perfectly competitive firm price elasticity is infinite. If a competitive firm raises its price slightly it will lose all its sales. A monopoly, by contrast, has significant control over the prices it changes.
3. The output of a perfectly competitive industry tends to be greater and the price tends to be lower than under monopoly. One way that society has attempted to reduce the harmful effects of monopoly is through public regulation.
