Abstract
⺠Transfer prices govern intra-firm transactions among the firm's divisions. ⺠In oligopoly, optimal transfer prices differ from those charged to unrelated buyers. ⺠The arm's length principle (ALP) restricts such strategic use of transfer pricing. ⺠We study how the ALP changes the nature of dynamic competition in oligopoly. ⺠The ALP renders tacit collusion more stable than when firms are not subject to it.
