4. Which type of market structure do you think the following products are in (and why): a. Haircuts and salon services. b. New home construction. c. Shampoo. d. Internet services.
Hair cuts - Probably monopolistic competition because saloons have differentiated haircuts, and they charge slightly different prices. Advertising is a key component of promotion
New home construction: monopolistic competition because homes can be differentiated and they charge different prices. Advertising is once again a key component of promotion
Toothpastes and shampoo are also the market under monopolistic competition for the same reasons
Internet services: Not many sellers and it requires start up cost and heavy investment. Entry is restricted so it is an oligoopoly market
