What environmental conditions are price wars likely to occur in an industry?

Price wars are likely to occur in industries characterized by high competition, excess supply, and low product differentiation. When companies face stagnant or declining demand, they may resort to aggressive pricing strategies to attract customers and increase market share. Additionally, industries with low entry barriers often see new entrants who may undercut prices, further intensifying competition. Lastly, economic downturns can exacerbate these conditions, prompting businesses to lower prices to maintain sales volume.

When does an imperfect competition occur in economics?

Imperfect competition occurs in economics when the conditions for perfect competition are not met, leading to market structures where individual firms have some control over pricing. This can happen in markets with few sellers (oligopoly), many sellers with differentiated products (monopolistic competition), or even in markets with significant barriers to entry. In such scenarios, firms can influence market prices, resulting in inefficiencies and a lack of optimal resource allocation. Examples include industries like automobiles, fashion, and technology, where product differentiation and brand loyalty play significant roles.


Is it true that one of the four conditions for perfect competition is identical products also called commodities?

There are a lot more than four conditions, but "homogeneous" products (there's no such thing as identical products) are one of the ways you tell if a market is operating under perfect competition.
