Resource Allocation under Monopoly The existence of monopoly will lead to a misallocation of resources from the perspective of the economy as a whole. Assume a monopolist with a horizontal MC = AC curve. The monopolist’s P and Q would be at A‚ while the perfectly competitive P and Q would be at B. The monopoly restricts Q from QC back to Q* with a price of P*. Thus‚ this good is under-produced‚ compared to the perfectly competitive market‚ while other goods are over-produced due to resources (inputs)

What are the sources of Monopoly? A monopoly is defined as a market structure where one firm supplies all output in the industry without facing competition.

Monopolies are firms that are the sole or dominant suppliers of a good or service in a given market. And what sets apart monopolies from competitive firms is “market power”- the ability of a firm to affect the market price. Price discrimination is the business practice of selling the same good at different prices to different customers‚ even though the cost of production is the same for all customers. Only monopolies can practice price discrimination‚ because otherwise competition would prevent
