Oligopolies can lead to inefficiency due to limited competition, which may result in higher prices and reduced output compared to perfectly competitive markets. Firms in an oligopoly may engage in collusive behavior, such as price-fixing or market-sharing, further stifling competition and innovation. Additionally, the market power held by a few dominant firms can lead to a misallocation of resources, as they prioritize profit maximization over consumer welfare. This inefficiency ultimately restricts consumer choice and can hinder overall economic growth.

Output-fixing oligopolies are market structures where a small number of firms dominate and collaborate to set production levels or outputs, often to maximize collective profits and reduce competition. This coordination can occur through explicit agreements or implicit understandings among the firms. By limiting output, these oligopolies can maintain higher prices than in more competitive markets, leading to increased profitability at the expense of consumer welfare. Such behavior may raise legal and regulatory concerns, as it can be seen as a form of collusion.
