What do you call an agreement made between differnent companies to charge the same amount for products?
An agreement made between different companies to charge the same amount for products is called **price fixing**. It is a type of anticompetitive practice that is illegal in most jurisdictions. Price fixing can be done either horizontally, between competitors, or vertically, between a manufacturer and its distributors or retailers. Price fixing can have a number of negative consequences for consumers. It can lead to higher prices, less choice, and lower quality products. It can also stifle innovation and reduce economic growth. Here are some examples of price fixing: Two competing grocery stores agreeing to charge the same price for milk A group of car manufacturers agreeing to set a minimum price for their vehicles A book publisher agreeing with its retailers to set a minimum resale price for its books Price fixing can be difficult to detect, but there are a number of red flags that can indicate that it is taking place. These include: Identical prices for competing products A lack of price competition Refusal by suppliers to sell to retailers who discount their products Industry-wide agreements on pricing policies If you suspect that price fixing is taking place, you can report it to the relevant competition authority. Note: It is important to note that price fixing is illegal in most jurisdictions, and companies that engage in it can face serious consequences, including fines and imprisonment.
