A Methodology for Analyzing Cartel Agreements

The authors provide an overview of approaches to analyzing cartel agreements and their social impact. They challenge the view that cartels are always undesirable, pointing to potential benefits for industrial markets. The weaknesses of standard analytical approaches, including problems applying certain economic models, are examined, along with the particular role of the pricing factor in analyzing anticompetitive agreements.
