Chandra J.
The mutual interdependence that characterizes oligopoly arises because: the products of various firms are homogeneous. the products of various firms are differentiated. a small number of firms produce a large proportion of industry output. the demand curves of firms are kinked at the prevailing price. If there are significant economies of scale in an industry, then: a firm that is large may be able to produce at a lower unit cost than can a small firm. a firm that is large will have to charge a higher price than will a small firm. entry to that industry will be easy. firms must differentiate their products to earn economic profits. Game theory can be used to demonstrate that oligopolists: rarely consider the potential reactions of rivals. experience economies of scale. that oligopolists can increase their profits through collusion. may be either homogeneous or differentiated.

Why is mutual interdependence important under oligopoly but not so important under perfect competition, monopoly, or monopolistic competition? Check all that apply. --> None of the oligopolistic firms can affect the market prices. --> Under oligopoly, there is no other firm in the industry. --> Under monopoly, there is no other firm in the industry. --> A monopolistically competitive firm can raise its price slightly above its competitors without anticipating their reactions. --> In perfect competition, no single firm's price changes affect the market prices.
