About Market Structures
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This page sits in the Firms, Industries and Factor Markets strand of Economics. It collects resources on how markets are structured and how firms behave inside them. The mind maps are the biggest group, with flashcards, quizzes, notes and a few slide sets alongside.
- Perfect competition: the maps list assumptions such as many buyers and sellers, perfect information, equal access to technology and homogeneous products.
- Monopoly: barriers to entry, supernormal profits and short-run and long-run equilibrium.
- Oligopoly: a few large, interdependent firms, with collusion and cartels.
- Efficiency and concentration: allocative efficiency, concentration ratios and contestable markets.
Where to start
Begin with the Market Structure mind map, which sets perfect competition and monopoly side by side. Then open the Perfect Competition map, the Monopolies map and the Oligopoly map in turn. If you prefer reading, the notes called Market Structures - Perfect Competition and Monopoly explain how concentration ratios help you spot a market type.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then test yourself. The Econ 3.3.3 - Concentrated Markets quiz asks about the sources of monopoly power and barriers to entry, so it suits the point after you have studied monopoly and oligopoly. Note the questions you miss, go back to the matching branch of the map, and try again.
For quick recall, the AP Microeconomics: Chapter 11 - Monopoly flashcards ask why a monopolist's demand curve slopes as it does and what unregulated and regulated monopoly can lead to. The Concentrated Markets deck covers cartels, collusion, limit pricing and predatory pricing.
Going further
Once the basics feel secure, compare structures through the Allocative Efficiency map, which sets perfect competition against monopoly. The Contestable Markets resources and the slide sets on market structure and efficiency add a wider view. There is also a written-answer note on controlling firms with monopoly power, useful for practising longer responses.
Choose one structure today, work through its map and take a quiz. Then make your own flashcards from what you found tricky.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this page?
Start with the Market Structure mind map, which compares perfect competition and monopoly. Then move to the separate maps for perfect competition, monopoly and oligopoly. Once you have the key terms, try the Econ 3.3.3 - Concentrated Markets quiz to see which parts of the topic need more work.
What do the mind maps cover?
The maps cover perfect competition and its assumptions, monopoly and its barriers to entry, oligopoly and collusion, monopolistic competition, monopsony, contestable markets and market concentration. There is also a map on allocative efficiency that compares how different market structures perform.
