Yes, a monopolistic competitor is considered a price maker because it has some degree of market power due to product differentiation. Unlike perfect competition, where firms are price takers, monopolistic competitors can influence their prices by changing the quantity they supply or by enhancing the perceived value of their products. However, their pricing power is limited by the availability of close substitutes, which means they must consider competitors' prices when setting their own.
