Feature Essay: Are Markets Becoming Less Competitive?
Many sectors of the U.S. economy seem to be increasingly dominated by a handful of large and powerful players. Some policymakers have argued that this growing concentration is a sign of weakening competition. However, concentration by itself is not necessarily a sign of market power. Thus, researchers have been looking at whether market power, not simply market concentration, is on the rise. As this essay by senior economics writer Tim Sablik and senior economist Nicholas Trachter explains, it may be too soon to reach a decisive conclusion.
