Final Answer : True, Explanation :  In an oligopoly with a dominant price leader, the leading firm often sets prices that other firms follow, resulting in a level of output and prices that are higher than in a competitive market but lower than what would be observed under a monopoly. This is because the dominant firm has significant market power but still faces some competition from other firms, leading to a compromise between competitive and monopolistic outcomes.
