KEY TAKEAWAYS
The key characteristics of oligopoly are a recognition that the actions
of one firm will produce a response from rivals and that these
responses will affect it. Each firm is uncertain what its rivals’
responses might be.
The degree to which a few firms dominate an industry can be
measured using a concentration ratio or a Herfindahl–Hirschman
Index.
One way to avoid the uncertainty firms face in oligopoly is through
collusion. Collusion may be overt, as in the case of a cartel, or tacit, as
in the case of price leadership.
Game theory is a tool that can be used to understand strategic choices
by firms.
Firms can use tit-for-tat and trigger strategies to encourage
cooperative behavior by rivals.
