Type | | Definition | A series of retaliatory price cuts by two or more competitors in a market. | Implications | A limited price war can be a sign of a highly functional market that is good for customers. An intense price war can end with large numbers of competitors dropping from a market. The result can be reduced quality and less selection. In some cases, a price war results in significantly reduced competition and higher prices in the long term. For example, a monopoly can emerge from a price war. | Related Concepts | |
