Market Structure and Competition — Market Equilibrium
Equilibrium looks very different depending on market structure. In competition, price settles at marginal cost; under monopoly, price sits well above cost and society pays a deadweight loss through restricted output. This module teaches you to read whether a company's pricing is competitive or monopolistic straight from its margins, and shows why equilibrium analysis is the sharpest tool for predicting where prices move after a regulatory shift or new entrant arrives.
