Question
Predatory pricing plays a significant role in creating entry barriers in a market. It is a strategy where a dominant firm sets its prices very low or even below cost to drive competitors out of the market or to prevent new competitors from entering the market. This strategy can be effective in the short term, but it can also lead to a monopoly, which can have negative effects on the market in the long term. It's important to note that predatory pricing is considered illegal in many jurisdictions due to its anti-competitive nature.
