Dear Student,

The Kinked-Demand curve theory is an economic theory regarding oligopoly and monopolistic competition. An oligopoly (from Ancient Greek word (olĂ­gos), meaning 'few', and (polein), meaning 'to sell') is a market form wherein a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers (oligopolists). Oligopolies can result from various forms of collusion which reduce competition and lead to higher prices for consumers. Oligopoly has its own market structure.
