Optimal Cartel Pricing In The Presence Of An Antitrust Authority Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Joseph E. Harrington
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
The dynamic behavior of a price-fixing cartel is explored when it is concerned about creating suspicions that a cartel has formed. Consistent with preceding static theories, the cartel's steady-state price is decreasing in the damage multiple and the probability of detection. However, contrary to those theories, it is independent of the level of fixed fines. It is also shown that the cartel prices higher when a more competitive benchmark price is used in calculating damages.
