Monopsony

Monopsony Definition

A pure monopsony is a market where a company is the only consumer of a resource (i.e. a company that is the only employer). Since pure monopsony situations are rare, monopsony only occurs when a company is so large that its buying decisions affect the price of the resource or its employing decisions affect the market wage (Hall & Lieberman, 2007).
