duopoly: Special case of oligopoly: industry structure with two sellers. In competition cases the term is often also used for situations where two main sellers dominate the competitive structure and a fringe of smaller sellers adapts to their behaviour. The two main sellers are then referred to as the duopoly.
Category: The European Communities

duopoly: two sellers only of a good or service in a market
Category: Commerce - movement of goods

monopoly: Market situation with a single supplier (monopolist) who - due to the absence of competition - holds an extreme form of market power. It is tantamount to the existence of a dominant position. Under monopoly, output is normally lower and price higher than under competitive conditions. A monopolist may also be deemed to earn supra-normal profits (i.e. profits that exceed the normal remuneration of the capital). A similar situation on the demand side of the market, that is with a single buyer only, is called monopsony.
Category: The European Communities

monopoly: an economic situation-de jure or de facto-in which supply or demand exists,in a specific market,without competition
Category: Commerce - movement of goods

oligopoly: A market structure with few sellers, who realise their interdependence in taking strategic decisions, for instance, on price, output and quality. In an oligopoly, each firm is aware that its market behaviour will distinctly affect the other sellers and their market behaviour. As a result, each firm will take the possible reactions from the other players expressly into account. In competition cases, the term is often also used for situations where a few big sellers jointly dominate the competitive structure and a fringe of smaller sellers adapt to their behaviour. The big sellers are then referred to as the oligopolists. In certain circumstances this situation may be considered as one of collective (also joint or oligopolistic) dominance.
Category: The European Communities

oligopoly: a market situation in which control over the supply of a commodity is held by a small number of producers each of whom is able to influence prices and thus directly affect the position of competitors
Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

oligopoly: a departure from perfect competition in which there are only a few producers of a good or service
Category: Commerce - movement of goods
