When does collusion between two firms occur?
Collusion between two firms occurs when they secretly work together to manipulate the market in their favor, such as by fixing prices or limiting competition.
What is an agreement among firms to divide the market or set prices or limit production called?
collusion
What is a formal agreement between firms to set prices or to behave in a cooperative manner called?
collusion
What is unwritten or unspoken understandings through which firms collude to restrict competition called?
Tacit collusion
What is shared monopoly?
Shared or Joint monopoly refers to anticompetitive behaviour by firms, normally an oligopoly, in order to secure monopoly profits for the firms as a group. Essentially, shared monopoly requires some form of collusion but stops short of being a formal cartel. It is therefore similar to tacit collusion. In a shared monopoly firms may not compete for the same customers and have instead local monopolies.

What is the effect of collusion on the equilibrium?
Collusion among firms typically results in higher prices and reduced output levels compared to the competitive equilibrium. This can lead to market inefficiency and consumer welfare losses as prices are artificially inflated. Collusion can also create barriers to entry for new firms and reduce innovation in the market.
What is the difference between overt and covert collusion's?
Overt collusion is where firms in an oligopoly formally set a price together, (usually high to maximize profits). This is usually done in secret because its illegal in most countries, but the main characteristic is that it is formal. I believe overt collusion is where on firm in an oligopoly reacts to a price drop in another firms from that oligopoly. For instance a competing firm drops there price from £1 to 50p, the other firms will have to otherwise they will lose profits, allthoufh this is bad for all firms because everybody loses potential profits. Am still researching this though so not 100% on overt collusion.

Is price-fixing a type of collusion?
Price fixing can only be collusion if it happens due to all the firms in an oligopoly system come together to decide the price. Price fixing can also be implemented by government (especially in agriculture sector), in which case is not considered a collusion.
What is the partial collusion?
Partial collusion refers to a situation where two or more parties coordinate their actions to achieve mutual benefits while still competing in certain aspects of their business. Unlike full collusion, where companies agree to eliminate competition entirely, partial collusion allows for some degree of rivalry, such as maintaining competitive pricing in specific markets while collaborating in others. This strategy can help firms maximize profits while reducing the risks of legal repercussions associated with outright collusion.
How oligopoly originate?
Generally, collusion occurs when participating firms can increase their short-run economic profits by controlling supply, acting like a monopoly.
