Advantageous semi-collusion
Article Abstract:
The production cartel can either benefit or hurt companies and consumers. Members of cartels and consumers benefit during moderate to large spillovers and when products are relatively good substitutes. However, cartels harm companies and consumers when spillovers are small and when products are moderately substitutable. Antitrust policies are most effective in the setting when authorities have information concerning the extent of spillovers and the level of product differentiation.
