What to Focus On

  • Market in economics means the whole region of exchange, not only a place.
  • A market needs area, commodity, buyers and sellers, and competition.
  • Contact may be direct or through modern and traditional communication methods.
  • Perfect competition has many buyers and sellers and homogeneous products.
  • The firm is a price-taker; the industry is the price-maker.
  • Pure competition has only three conditions and is narrower than perfect competition.
  • Monopoly has one seller and no close substitutes.
  • The monopolist is both firm and industry.
  • The monopolist is a price-maker.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Perfect competition and pure competition are the same thing.

A firm under perfect competition is a price-maker because it sells output in the market.

Perfect competition exists in real life because some markets look similar to it.
