1) An oligopoly is characterized by a market with few sellers that are interdependent. Each firm monitors and reacts to the actions of other firms in the industry.
2) Prices in an oligopoly are determined through interdependent pricing, price wars between firms trying to gain market share, price leadership where one dominant firm sets prices that others follow, or formal agreements like cartels to limit competition.
3) The kinked demand curve model suggests firms in an oligopoly face a discontinuous demand curve, leading to price rigidity as raising or lowering prices would decrease total revenue along the elastic or inelastic portions of the demand curve.
