Answer to Question 1

There are several reasons why economists are less worried about highly concentrated industries. First, the theory of contestable markets suggests that firms in highly concentrated industries can be pushed to produce efficiently under the right market conditions. Second, there are real benefits of product differentiation. Third, firms in highly concentrated industries appear to spend a great deal on research and development. Last, substantial economies of scale in some industries preclude a completely competitive structure.
