Can you think of an example of each type of market structure presented in class today? No fair cheating on your fellow-students' lists. Try to be original...

  1. The closest thing to an example of perfect competition is the stock market, an example of Monopolistic competition is the clothing industry, an example of an oligopoly is the television industry, an example of a cartel is OPEC (which is outside of the U.S.) and an example of a duopoly is the soft drink market (Pepsi and Coca-Cola). It's really hard to find a perfect monopoly since monopolies are illegal but an example of one was Standard Oil which was broken up into Exxon Mobil and Chevron Corporation.

  2. I think the closest example of perfect competition is the rice market, as an example of monopolistic competition is the game industry, as an example of oligopoly is the mobile phone service industry. And also the diamond company 'De Beer's' is an example of cartel, the CPU industry(Intel & AMD) is an example of duopoly, and 'Network Solutions Inc.'(internet address provider) is an example of monopoly.

  3. I think an example of perfect competition is an item being bought on e-bay. I would like to dare and say the U.S Postal Service is almost a perfect monopoly? I could say a good duopoly could be the UPS and FedEx. An example of oligopoly could perhaps be burger joints? A good example of oligopoly may be airlines? When I think cartel I think drugs...drug cartels. This blog was hard. ]:

  9. For Perfect Competition an example can be those who are in the corners of the streets with their fruit stands. For Monopolistic Competition I say handbags are an example. An example of Oligopoly can be the health care. I can't make one up for Cartel nor for Perfect Monopoly ,I'll come back to those when I figure something out. And for Duopoly is the media.

  17. I didn't read any of the students' blogs so that I can't conciously steal things! Anyways, for an example of perfect competition I would say free software and for monopolistic competition I would say that a product such as toothpaste would be a good example of that. I would say the television industry is a good example of an oligopoly and Kodak and Fujifilm may be an example of a duopoly. Unilever and Proctor and Gamble were recently found guilty for fixing the prices of washing powders in European countries. I figured that would be a good example of a cartel. The only example I can think of for perfect monopoly would be the example used in class for the utilities. Oh well, I tried!

  19. For a perfect competition I think a good example are little food stands that are everywhere (outside the US) in under developed countries where they don't have fast food restaurants. Monopolistic Competition example can be clothing or shoes there is a large amount of firms. A good example of Oligopoly are the big four cell phone companies, it is almost impossible to enter because they dominate the market (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile). An example for cartel could be all the casinos of Las Vegas because it seems like they work together to draw people into Las Vegas and spend their money. A good example of a duopoly is Mac and Windows because they are the two big companies that are competing against each other. For a Perfect Monopoly the best example I can think of is the Waste Management company is one of them because they are the only firm for trash and makes them a good example for this one.

  21. Perfect completion market can be roughly the examples of Stock exchange, Free software, Agriculture, Street foods selling at the same price, and the like. Most of them produce homogeneous products, and there are a vast number of firms or sellers producing those similar products and anyone is free to enter and leave the market at no cost. Retail market, Higher education, computer software and operating systems are examples of monopolistic competition. The oligopoly market can be Automobile industry, Real estate, commercial market, Media industry, and Wireless providers。The Petroleum Exporting can be one example of cartel because it is made of a small number of firms which have a formal agreement among the firms and act just like one firm. The duopoly market can be example of Airbus and Boeing in the commercial large jbet aircraft market or Verizon and AT&T in the U.S. telecommunications market,. Standard oil and National Football League are possible to be thought of the type of Monopoly in the past. Among them, there is only one buyer or firm in the market.

Monopolistic competition is exotic cars like Italian exotic cars sellers like Lamborghini and Ferrari in Italy . An example of Duopoly in the United Arab Emirates we have Enoc (Emirates national oil company) and Adnoc (Abu dhabi national oil company) they control the gas industry in the UAE.

  28. i think that any flower company or shop can be a part of a perfect competition because of the fact that people sell flowers on the streets as well as in actual shops, there is unlimited number of sellers for all a single product of flowers. A monopoly would be Apple, even though there are many companies that make all the same stuff differently, Apple sets prices and standards of products, like laptops, tablets, or MP3 players. Oligopoly would be Computer OSs, the only ones that I know about are 'Obuntu, IOS, and Windows. Cartel would be in athletics and a Duopoly would be like Windows and HP. Perfect monopoly could be Comcast with there coverage of everything.

  31. The six different markets we discussed in class were: perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, cartel, duopoly, and pure monopoly. I believe cereal brands fall into the category of perfect competition with the variety of store and name brands on the shelves. A primary example of monopolistic competition is cable for television, anywhere country that you travel to use cable as a source of entertainment. An oligopoly are jewelry stores, which at least one can be found in every mall, and carry exclusive goods. Fire Fox vs. Internet Explorer are duopoly companies that many people demand due to fast and reliable internet services. One place I consider a pure monopoly is a garden nursery, that guaranteed all goods are based for people who are interested in plants gardening, fertilizer, and materials. The Edison, electrical company is an appropriate company that can be classified as a cartel.

  36. A perfect competition is probably the stock market... monopolistic competition probably the game industry and by game industry I mean video games of course. Cartel = OPEC. Duopoly would probably FedEx and UPS. Perfect monopoly, I'm gonna risk being wrong by saying Southern Edison. By the way, if you have a habit of reading the post right above the section where you type your answer, take my advice and don't read any of the other posts. For God's sake you read one and then you can't think of any other answers it's a terrible thing!

  52. After reading the directions from the question itself, i tried not to look at the other students response until after I write my own response. I know once I look at my collegues entries, it would alter the way I believe each market system's example that I would come up with. I'm not even sure if I'll get them right but at least I know it would be my own thought and guess. These examples would be examples that I see and experience. For perfect competition I would say the vendors at the swapmeet. For monoplistic competition I put Hollister Co. For Oligopoly I put television, Cartel I'm guessing Sony and Samsueng. For duopoly I put Att and Verizon which is a little similar to Cartel and for Perfect Monolopy I put Mac whether its the cosmetic company or the Mac computers.
