Abstract

In this chapter and Chaps. 7 and 8, we will discuss various types of social cost (expressed as \( {\text{C}} \), see the discussion of collusion model in Chap. 2) as a result of collusion . It is not that we deny possible gains, but that we feel it necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of negative costs of various forms of collusion. Undeniably, an analysis of collusion on corporate and governmental behaviors and on social development is conducive to helping the central government make an objective comparison between gains and costs.
