  (Code:17)

  There is a widely held belief that fierce competition improves the efficiency of production, which is clearly an extrapolation of the well-established fact that competition has a positive influence on efficient resource allocation. The intuition, which leads to this conclusion is related to the existence of a positive rent in monopolized markets and the corresponding possibilities for slack by managers and employees.
