Why Monopolies Arise?
• The fundamental cause of monopoly is the existence of barriers to entry.
• Monopolies exist because of barriers to entry into a market that prevent competition-• Legal barriers• Sociological barriers • Natural barriers
• Barriers to entry have three sources-• Ownership of a key resource.• The government gives a firm the exclusive right to produce some good.• Costs of production make one producer more efficient than a large number of
producers.

Demerits of monopoly• Consumer options are limited.• Profits do not signal firms to enter the industry. (They can’t get in
because of the barriers to entry.)• There is allocate inefficiency. ( P > MC ) The monopolist does not
produce all units that consumers value more than it costs to make them.

Monopoly Market Demand Curve
Price
QuantityDemand
Because the monopoly firm is the only seller of a good, the market demand curve for the good is the same as the demand curve for the firm’s product.

Price Discrimination
• Price discrimination is the ability to charge different prices to different individuals or groups of individuals.
• A price-discriminating monopolist can increase both output and profit.
• It can charge customers with more inelastic demands a higher price.
• It can charge customers with more elastic demands a lower price.

Summary• A monopoly is a firm that is the sole seller in its market.• It faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product.• A monopoly’s marginal revenue is always below the price of its
good.• Like a competitive firm, a monopoly maximizes profit by
producing the quantity at which marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal.
• Unlike a competitive firm, its price exceeds its marginal revenue, so its price exceeds marginal cost.
• A monopolist’s profit-maximizing level of output is below the level that maximizes the sum of consumer and producer surplus.
• Monopolists can raise their profits by charging different prices to different buyers based on their willingness to pay.
