Abstract
⺠We model a linear oligopoly model with antitrust enforcement. ⺠We show that the optimal cartel price converges to the competitive equilibrium price. ⺠We show that the set of sustainable cartel prices does not shrink to the competitive price. ⺠We identify a set of necessary conditions for this counter-intuitive convergence result.
