Monopolistic competition
The form of economic competition known as Monopolistic competition occurs when:
- There are many producers and many consumers in a given market.
- Consumers have clearly defined preferences - the goods and services are heterogeneous
- Freedom of entry.
A monopolistically competitive firm acts similar to monopolists in the short run, but in the long run has no profits and excess capacity.
