Communication in Cartels∗
We study the role of communication within a cartel. Our analysis is carried out in Stigler’s (1964) model of oligopoly with secret price cuts.

For a fixed discount factor, we identify conditions under which there are equilibria with "cheap talk" communication that ...

We analyze collusion under demand uncertainty by cartels such as OPEC that care about the utility derived from profits by citizens. When citizens are sufficiently risk averse and fixed operating costs are non-trivial, it becomes difficult for cartels to collusively restrict output both when demand is low and marginal dollars are highlyvalued, and when demand is high and potential defection prof...

It is conventional wisdom that transparency in cartels– monitoring of competitors’ prices, sales, and profits– facilitates collusion. However, in several recent cases cartels have instead gone out of their way to preserve the privacy of their participants’actions and outcomes.

In such a market traditional solution concepts like the core tend to favor the short side of the market excessively. We e...
متن کاملHow Do Cartels Operate?
This paper distills and organizes facts about cartels from about 20 European Commission decisions over 1999-2004. It describes the properties of a collusive outcome, monitoring and punishment methods for enforcing it, the frequency of meetings, the organizational structure of cartels, and what preceded cartel formation.
