Complete A2 lesson with learning objectives, diagrams and video links including a section on Game Theory and the Prisoner’s Dilemma.
This lesson covers everything students need to know about Oligopoly for their A2 Economics course. It is a significantly lengthy powerpoint as a result that fills a double lesson of teaching, particularly if you make good use of the prisoner’s dilemma.

This lesson introduces:
1 - The difference between public and private goods
2 - The free rider problem
3 - The provision of public goods such as street lighting
