**Claim.** In a quantum game model of a market with informational asymmetry between two firms, monopoly emerges once the informational asymmetry passes a threshold, and total quantity and economic efficiency fall as a result.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** evidenced

**Holds when.**

- two firm market with informational asymmetry
- asymmetry above the threshold

**Source quote.**

> The model shows that monopoly appears when the informational asymmetry reaches a certain threshold, leading to a decrease in total quantity and economic efficiency.
