Price Maker
A price maker is a firm that has the ability to set its own price rather than accept the market price as given.
Unlike firms in perfect competition, price makers face downward-sloping demand curves and can influence price by changing output levels. Monopolists, oligopolists, and monopolistic competitors are all price makers.
