In perfect competition, barriers to entry are minimal or nonexistent, allowing new firms to enter the market freely. This ensures that no single firm can dominate the market, as many competitors provide identical products. Consequently, prices are driven to the level of marginal cost, benefiting consumers and preventing long-term economic profits for firms. Overall, the lack of barriers fosters a dynamic and efficient market environment.
In perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers, products are identical, and there are no barriers to entry. In imperfect competition, there are fewer sellers, products may be differentiated, and there may be barriers to entry.
Perfect competition
c) no barriers to entry or exit in the long run
Perfect competition is a market structure where there are many buyers and sellers, identical products, perfect information, and no barriers to entry or exit. In contrast, imperfect competition includes elements like differentiated products, market power for some firms, and barriers to entry.
-many firms - few artificial barriers to entry - slight control over price - differentiated products
Perfect competition is a market structure where there are many small firms selling identical products, with no barriers to entry or exit. Characteristics include identical products, perfect information, ease of entry and exit, and no market power for individual firms. An example would be the agricultural market for corn or wheat.
No. Perfect competition assumes free entry and exit, which implies that fixed costs/entry costs are or are close to 0.

The 19th century industrialists encouraged competition by driving in industrialists. Industrialists were discouraged largely by the barriers to entry.
Pure competition cannot exist because in a perfectly competitive market, there would be a very large number of small firms producing identical products, with no barriers to entry or exit. In reality, markets often have barriers to entry, firms have some degree of market power, and products are not always identical due to differences in quality or branding. These factors prevent pure competition from being achieved.

Ways to eliminate the competition in the late 1800s was jerking off.
Factors that contribute to the sustainability of perfect competition in the long run include low barriers to entry, homogenous products, perfect information, and the absence of market power.
