Microeconomics- Oligopolies and Monopolistic Competition
There have been several mergers of large firms within oligopolies. In
this assignment, you are to assess the impact of those mergers, on
industry, on consumers and on society as a whole. There are three parts
to the assignment. In a separate group Discussion Board, present 2
arguments. The first should argue in favor of the proposed merger, from
the perspective of the firms. The second argues against the proposed
merger from the perspective of the broader public interest. Is a high
degree of market concentration a benefit or threat to consumers?
Explain. Use either the allocative efficiency or dynamic efficiency
arguments. Can the oligopoly market structure benefit both consumers and
businesses by forging common standards in industries that experience
rapid technological change?
