Why to study perfect competition if it does not exist in the real world?
By studying perfect competition, we can learn how much an ideally functioning market system might accomplish and we can compare it to real world market structures.
Why have economists created a model of perfect competition?
Economists created a model of perfect competition to establish a benchmark for analyzing market behavior and efficiency. This idealized market structure features many buyers and sellers, homogeneous products, and free entry and exit, allowing for the examination of how resources are allocated efficiently. By comparing real-world markets to this model, economists can identify deviations from optimality, understand market failures, and evaluate the impacts of various policies. Ultimately, the model serves as a foundational tool for understanding economic principles and market dynamics.
What are the examples of perfect competition in business?
In economics, perfectly competive markets are those where neither consumer nor producer have influence over prices; they are price takers. Examples follow:Agritgultural Products, commodities such as corn and wheatSemiconductorsUnskilled Labour
What are the advantages of perfect or pure competition?
Perfect competition relates to existence of situation where demand for a product is equal to supply of product and there is equilibrium condition. The elasticity of demand and supply are coherent and the prices are not dependent upon the price variations. Customer are at free will. These are the advantages of perfect competition. Perfect competition is defined as a situation where there: Are many small buyers and sellers (firms) each too small to affect the price - the firms are "price-takers". Is a homogeneous product [all are identical]. Is free entry and exit. This means that firm can join or leave the industry - it is both allowed and costs nothing. Is perfect knowledge. If we take out "perfect knowledge" (which never exists in the real world) and leave the first three assumptions, we get "pure competition". It is less than perfect, but is still very competitive
What is the difference between perfect competition and monopoly competition?
In perfect competition, the market consists of a large number of buyers and sellers of an identical good. A real world example that is close to this is the market for farm commodities, such as wheat or soybeans. The critical feature is that there are so many buyers and sellers that each buyer and seller assumes that their behavior will have no impact on the final market clearing price. That is, they assume the price will be $X no matter how much they buy and sell and furthermore they assume that they can buy and sell as much of the good as they want/can afford at that price. This sort of assumption is called "price taking behavior". In contrast, a monopolistically competitive market has many sellers, but they each sell a unique good. A good example of this is the soda market, which has many competing sellers such as Coke, Pepsi, Royal Crown, 7up, etc. Here, each seller can set whatever price they want for the good that they control, but they have to take into account how many other goods are close substitutes for the good that they sell. If there are many close substitutes, the end result will be similar to a perfectly competitive market; each seller will earn zero economic profit. In contrast, if no close substitutes exist, the market is a plain old monopoly and the monopolist earns economic profits.

Why would a market that consisted entirely of perfectly competitive firms not be 'perfect'?
The concept of perfect competition is based on a large number of small firms, where no single firm can affect the market price. These firms operate as price takers, and use the cost supplied by the market. These ideal companies would insure efficiency. However, perfect competitive firms are unrealistic in real world scenarios.
Does perfect competition and pure monopoly exist only in developed countries?
Yes because in a third world country or undeveloped country there is very unstable goverment having no pure monoply or stable income

How does technology affect market structure and real-world competition?
Technology has had positive and negative affects on market structure and real world competition. Some negative affects are the risk of security breach and customer personal information and financial information being stolen. Some positives include easier advertising, less costs, and more customers.
When was World Competition created?
