Abstract
⺠We analyse an infinitely repeated game of the rivalry of the kinked demand curve. ⺠The best collusive prices can be rigid over time despite small cost changes. ⺠The price is between the low-cost monopoly price and the high-cost Nash price. ⺠The present discounted values of profits are decreasing in the level of high costs. ⺠Price rigidity depends on firm numbers, differentiation and high-cost phase duration.
