Question

According to the ________ cheating model, assuming little or no product differentiation among a small number of firms, if one firm decides to cheat on a collusive agreement by reducing its prices, others will as well and, in the long run, firms in this industry will earn no economic profits.

Answer 1

Cartel, oligopoly

Step-by-step explanation:

In this kind of market with little producers and little differenciation among the products there are no incentives for other companies to enter because of the barriers, so it's extremely likely that if one of them reduces their prices this industry can't generate economic profits.
