Summary: Likewise, due to a complete lack of market entry-barriers (including economies of scale), firms will continuously enter a market, driving economic profits to zero, producing homogenous and insignificant individual output quantities. In the case of imitative output competition the marginal contribution of a firm is zero, hence economic profits are zero
