Everyone in an oligopoly market is selling identical and or similar  products. 
There are also many obstacles to enter and or leave the market. ]]> 2023-05-11 17:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2587522901 Another example of an oligopoly is the airline industry. crohrich1 https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2587526957 One cannot wake up one morning and simply enter the airline market. There are fewer sellers compared to other markets and they are all selling the same product/service. ]]> 2023-05-11 17:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2587526957 A example of a oligopoly is the oil industry. crohrich1 https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2587608793 It carries all the traits of an oligopoly. There are few producers of oil. The market is hard to enter. Along with the fact they all produce the exact same project.l ]]> 2023-05-11 18:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2587608793 What are the pros of an oligopolistic market? crohrich1 https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2589055589 Almost all the benefits of an oligopoly are for the companies in them. 
Pros.
- The companies in an oligopoly are able to make significant profits due to the limited market size.  
- Low level of competition meaning companies may not have to adapted as much. 
- Companies can also work to keep all their prices high meaning they all make a greater profit. ]]> 2023-05-12 18:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2589055589 What are the cons of a Oligopolistic market? crohrich1 https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2589070805 Almost all of the cons affect consumers more than companies in an Oligopoly market.  
Cons
- Companies can mutually agree to keep prices high to earn a greater profit. This is a con for the consumer because in Oligopolistic markets there are only a few sellers. This leaves consumers having to purchase the goods or service at the higher price. 
- Companies in Oligopolistic markets don't have to innovate as much as companies in monopolistic markets. Since there are fewer companies selling the product and a hard barrier to enter the market they are usually better off making the same product since they don't need to convince the buyer. 
- As touched on in the con above. the market is hard to enter meaning there will always be limited choices for consumers. Zero variety and less competitive prices act against the consumer. A real world example of this was gas prices during 2020-2021. During the middle to late part of 2020 gas prices dropped. This drop benefited the consumer. Yet in the same breath it was a disadvantage for the consumer. As once the companies realized they were either losing or breaking even on profits the prices shot up again. ]]> 2023-05-12 18:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2589070805 Google Form Link. crohrich1 https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2589082983 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevL6uOmPC-VPaFaFMqAxNNuR0eoVHe72nOjG30_KVmu4b88g/viewform?usp=sf_link]]> 2023-05-12 18:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2589082983 my "ad" crohrich1 https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2591745775 2023-05-15 18:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/crohrich1/b5lceju2noi8g38f/wish/2591745775
