Collusive behavior and partial ownership of rivals

Article Abstract:

Oligopoly models show that less competition results in greater market prices. Remaining companies may either compete less or enter into a collusion. Collusive agreements are reduced when the level of cross ownership between rival firms is increased while creating a more profitable yet non cooperative balance. However, since profits will be shared by rival firms, they will have less gains from cheating and consequently less incentive to collude.
