Merger[edit]

no need keep it as it is

I've merged market form with this. Google indicates "market structure" is the prevailing term. Johnleemk | Talk 11:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-competitive market[edit]

I followed a link for "non-competitive-market" to this page, but this term is not mentioned on the page. Is it a synonym with monopoly? If there is a more complicated explanation, maybe this article would be a good place to elaborate on this.

Unclear Header[edit]

The introductory sentence of this article is unclear - It states the name of the article, but does not describe it. After this header, the article jumps headlong into a list of concepts, with no obvious connection to the list items and the article. Will whoever edited this article in this way please clarify themselves? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiboom (talkcontribs) 17:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC) "Market Demand Curve"[reply]

This whole article is a mess, and it needs a rewrite[edit]

The quality of the information presented and the format of presentation are pretty bad here. Maybe we should put the quality warning on this...

Dr. Colciago's comment on this article[edit]

Dr. Colciago has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


In economics, market structure is the number of firms producing identical products which are homogeneous. What characterizes a market structure is the form of competition and the number of firms. Goods can be imperfectly sustitutable or homogeneous.

Dr. Etro's comment on this article[edit]

Dr. Etro has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


The first definition is incomplete (at least one should mention markups and market shares together with the number of firms) and there is not mention of what is an endogenous market structure in economic theory. The subsequent text lacks rigorous theoretical content and empirical comments, though the main types of market structure are superficially listed


We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
