单选题 An analyst does research about monopolistic competition. Which of the following statements is most accurate? Long-run economic profit under monopolistic competition is zero because:
A. entry into and exit from the market are possible with fairly low costs.
B. each firm produces a differentiated product.
C. two or more firms have the incentive to collude.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 垄断竞争行业中长期的经济利润也为零，这是因为一旦有经济利润(超额利润)产生，由于进入门槛低，新的企业就会进入这个行业，使长期的经济利润为零。同样，如果一旦有经济亏损，由于退出门槛低，亏损的企业就会退出这个行业，使长期的经济利润仍然为零。
