How do economies of scale result in barriers to entry into oligopoly models?
Economies of scale act as barriers to entry because newer, smaller firms will have costs that are substantially higher than for larger established firms. This means that prices that can be profitable for existing firms can be unprofitable for potential new firms, deterring entry.
