Lesson 20: Oligopoly | Unit 3: Behavior Page: 12 of 24

Topic: Collusion <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • More on collusion.

  • Collusion is a usually secret agreement among competing firms in an industry to control the market, raise the market price, and otherwise act like a monopoly.
  • The reason for secrecy is that such behavior is illegal in the United States as well as most other countries.

  • Two types:

    • Explicit collusion
    • Implicit collusion

  • The secretive nature of most explicit collusion makes it very difficult to know when and where it occurs.

  • Implicit collusion is even more difficult to identify.

CAPITAL STOCK, AGGREGATE SUPPLY DETERMINANT

One of several specific aggregate supply determinants assumed constant when the aggregate supply curves (both long run and short run) are constructed, and which shifts the aggregate supply curves when it changes. An increase in the capital stock causes an increase (rightward shift) of both aggregate supply curves. A decrease in the capital stock causes a decrease (leftward shift) of both aggregate supply curves. Other notable aggregate supply determinants include the technology, energy prices, and the wages. Capital stock comes under the resource quantity aggregate supply determinant.
