What is a cartel in economics?

A cartel is a formal agreement between a group of producers of a good or service to control supply or to regulate or manipulate prices. Cartels often fix prices, define trading terms, and allocate trade or market share rules to achieve economies of scale. Cartels are illegal in the United States and regulated by anti-trust laws.

Does a cartel make a profit if a firm increases output?

Yet any firm that brings output to market, beyond its agreed production limit, at the price will make a profit of AF on that additional output – provided the other members of the cartel agree to restrict their output. Since each firm faces the same incentive to increase output, it is difficult to restrain all members from doing so.

How can a cartel be successful?

For a cartel to be successful, some or all of the following conditions are necessary: A small number of firms. Products are relatively undifferentiated from one firm to the next. Prices are easily observable. Prices show little variation over time.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
