Tiivistelmä: | Economic theories explaining the existence of stable cartels are still rare. The paper offers a generalization of the D'ASPREMONT, JAQUEMIN, GABSZEVICZ and WEYMARK (1983) approach of stable cartels in a static "small world" framework taking into account that suppliers may differ with respect to their cost structure. Predictions concerning the number of cartel members and the cartel structure are derived: One does always observe a small cartel. Cartel size decreases with the overall number of suppliers in the market. |
