Kinked demand theory the idea that the demand curve facing an oligopoly firm has a kink at the current price. Above the current price the demand curve is perceived as elastic as rival firms will not follow the price rise leading to a large loss of sales. conversely, if the oligopoly cuts its price then other firms will follow so that there is only a small increase in sales meaning that the demand curve is perceived as being price inelastic below the current price.
