प्रश्न
Which type of market structure is the following? Give reason.
Jeans
उत्तर
The market structure for jeans is monopolistic competition.
Reason:
- The jeans market is controlled by several sellers, including Levi's, Wrangler, Lee, and several other brands that offer comparable items but differ in terms of style, quality, brand image, and pricing.
- Each brand has some pricing control due to product differentiation, but there are many competitors, and customers can easily switch brands.
- This is an important element of monopolistic competition, where firms compete based on product differentiation rather than price alone.
