Everything about Imperfect Competition totally explained
In economic theory,
imperfect competition is the competitive situation in any market where the conditions necessary for
perfect competition are not satisfied.
Forms of imperfect competition include:
- Monopoly, in which there's only one seller of a good.
- Oligopoly, in which there's a small number of sellers.
- Monopolistic competition, in which there are many sellers producing highly differentiated goods.
- Monopsony, in which there's only one buyer of a good.
- Oligopsony, in which there's a small number of buyers.
There may also be imperfect competition in markets due to buyers or sellers lacking information about prices and the goods being traded.
There may also be imperfect competition due to a time lag in a market. An example is the “
jobless recovery”. There are many growth opportunities available after a recession, but it takes time for employers to react, leading to high
unemployment. High unemployment decreases wages, which makes hiring more attractive, but it takes time for new jobs to be created.
