Talk:Tacit collusion

Very bad shape indeed.
Not a single bloody valid reference in the whole piece. I suggest the article be pulled, until something can be put in place that has some traceability to valid sources. LeProf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.244.80 (talk) 23:06, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Dr. Normann's comment on this article
Dr. Normann has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"This article is badly written. The definition of tacit collusion is not common. The claim that firms "usually" avoid price cutting is, taken literally, nonsense and not based on any reference.

There are references missing throughout. There are plenty, even for the great salt duopoly, and on tacit collusion in general (Tirole's textbook, the Ivaldi et al.'s "Economics of Tacit Collusion").

As for one of the "issues" karked: the article does definitely not contain any original research."

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Article still needs work
This article has not changed in some time. It still lacks reliable referencing. Use of examples are sparse, there is a great deal of opportunity for further expansion.

I would like to merge in the legal side of the problem
