| Oligopolies - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Oligopolies: Oligopolies in economics refer to market structures where a small number of large firms dominate an industry. These firms sell similar or differentiated products and have significant pricing power. Due to limited competition, oligopolies may engage in strategic behavior, like price-fixing or collusion, to maximize profits. Examples include industries like telecommunications, automobile manufacturing, and airlines. See also Monopolies, Monopoly price, cCmpetition, Monopolistic competition._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
