Question 43 / 43: One of the identifying characteristics of oligopoly is sticky prices. When economists

state that prices are sticky with respect to oligopolistic industries, they mean that:

A prices are set by the market rather than the firm or, in other words, the firm is a price-taker
rather than a price-setter.

B the oligopolist sets product prices so that profits are maximized at all times.

C prices are less responsive to changes in demand in oligopolies than in perfectly competitive
markets.

D oligopolies practice predatory pricing, so competition in the market is reduced.

E prices are less responsive to changes in costs, either input prices or technology, than in
perfectly competitive markets.
