Why is there no competition in a monopoly?

Goryan [66]3 years ago

In economics monopoly and competition signify certain complex relations among firms in an industry. A monopoly implies an exclusive possession of a market by a supplier of a product or a service for which there is no substitute.

Think of it as an Airline that has an exclusive route from x to y. They can charge whatever they want since there is no other carrier flying that route. Air Canada is famous for that. Let's say three Airlines fly from point x to point y.

Let's also assume that Alaska Airline (or any other of your choosing) has the same route but Alaska Airline is cheaper. Air Canada will undercut these prices at a great loss to get rid of the competition and immediately raises the prices.

There is no competition due to the monopoly is a market structure where there is a single provider of a certain good or service. That means that a single company dominates the entire supply market. In this way, consumers who wish to acquire a good can only go to the monopolist and they must accept the conditions that this imposes. In economics this is the best example of an "imperfect competition".


This answer is based on the article: "Definition of Monopoly" publish by The Economic Times.

American solar power incorporated sells solar cells for people to install on their houses. What would the introduction of a Chin
SIZIF [17.4K]

This could have a variety of impacts that this situation could have on the local market. Firstly, the introduction of a Chinese company would mean that there would more competition for the American solar power company which would then have to contend with the Chinese company for sales. They would then be in a race to bring the most affordable options to the consumers as well as new advances in the technology or greater service. This would mean that the consumers would benefit greatly from this situation as they would be getting better products and service for an affordable cost.

Also, both companies could have a working arrangement where they act as an oligopoly and dominate the solar power industry in that particular market. Although, more companies brings more competition, when there aren't a multiplicity of  competitors, there is always the danger that the few businesses will band together and operate as one entity where they set specific prices, standards of service and technological advances introduced. They would only superficially be competing with each other. In this arrangement, the consumers would endure the same standard as having one entity dominating the market.

Another scenario would be where the American solar power company makes a superior product and as such would promote their products to the market as 'higher end' which would ensure they have a core and stable consumer base.
