Actions Speak Louder than Words : econometric evidence to target tacit collusion in oligopolistic markets

Vertical differentiation and collusion : cannibalization or proliferation?
Gabszewicz, Jean Jaskold; Marini, Marco A.; Tarola, Ornella - 2016
In this paper, we tackle the dilemma of pruning versus proliferation in a vertically differentiated oligopoly under the assumption that some firms collude and control both the range of variants for sale and their corresponding prices, likewise a multiproduct firm. We analyse whether pruning...
