Consider a firm that operates in a market that competes aggressively in prices. Due to the high fixed cost of obtaining the technology associated with entering this market, only a limited number of other firms exist. Furthermore, over 70 percent of the products sold in this market are protected by patents for the next eight years. Does this industry conform to an economist’s definition of a perfectly competitive market?

Respuesta :

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market has no barriers for firms to entry or exit; the product is homogenous (not patents involved), and the firms have no power to push the prices up or down. The characteristics described a market that tends to be an oligopoly, with entry barriers and non-homogenous products.
