Chapter 12: Monopoly
... MONOPOLY : In a monopoly, there is only one firm, so the downward sloping market demand curve is also the firm’s demand curve. If a singleprice monopoly wants to sell one more unit of output, it must lower its price. Selling another unit thus has two effects on revenue: ♦ First, the sale of an addit ...
