Abstract: | In an infinitely repeated game, sellers employ a trigger strategy of mutual forbearance invasion of each other's markets, stabilized against invasion by the threat of Bertrand pricing. Contrary to conventional static models, this article shows stability for a wide range of transportation costs and present value parameters, and that increases in transportation costs tend to destabilize the collusive agreement. |
