Abstract: Abstract 1. A market with few consumers and many suppliers is called a restricted monopsony. 2. A market with one consumer and one supplier is called a bilateral monopoly. 3. A market with many suppliers and many consumers is always a polypoly. 4. A market with few suppliers and one consumer is called a restricted monopoly. 1. There are more suppliers in an oligopoly than in a restricted monopsony. 2. There are more suppliers in a bilateral oligopoly than in a monopsony. 3. The only difference between a oligopsony and an oligopoly is the number of consumers. 4. The number of suppliers in a bilateral oligopoly is always smaller than in an oligopsony. 1. The market for airplane travel is an example of an oligopoly. 2. There is exactly one consumer in a bilateral monopoly, a restricted monopsony, and a monopsony. 3. The number of the market participants in a monopoly is always at least as large as in a bilateral monopoly. 4. The car industry is an example of a market with monopolistic competition. 1. False.
