What is an oligopoly?

An oligopoly is a market structure characterized by a small number of large firms dominating the industry. These firms have significant market power and often engage in strategic behavior, such as collusion or non-price competition, to maintain their market position. Oligopolies can result in limited competition, barriers to entry for new firms, and potentially higher prices for consumers.
