Cartel and International Trade Economy
In relation to international trade economy, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following definition of Cartel: A group of producers (or producing countries) entering into a collusive arrangement to regulate pricing, production, or marketing of goods by members. The aim of a cartel is to restrict output in order to raise prices; cartel members thereby gain the profit advantages of a single monopoly, but –since they continue to function as separate entities –without the offsetting efficiency gains a monopoly may achieve through economies of large-scale production. Cartels are illegal in the United States, but more common in other countries (see competition policy). The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC (Sec. Ill) is a prominent example of an international producer cartel. See also allocation cartel.
