Chapter 10: Purely Competitive Corn Market


Earlier, I was admiring a framed portrait of my grandparents’ farm. I realized that the market for the corn they produce would be an example of pure competition. This is because there are a large number of other farms that are producing basically an identical product; there is virtually no difference between the corn that each farm is producing. One downside to this is that it makes these corn farmers price takers, meaning they cannot change the market price, they can only adjust to it. However, it is easy for corn farmers to enter and exit this purely competitive market.
