The welfare effect of pure monopoly typically results in a loss of economic efficiency and consumer welfare. A monopolist sets prices higher and produces less than would occur in a competitive market, leading to a deadweight loss, which represents the lost welfare that neither consumers nor the monopolist capture. Additionally, consumers face reduced choices and potentially lower-quality products. Overall, while monopolies can lead to increased profits for the firm, they often result in negative outcomes for societal welfare.
