This book explores the role of inventories in supporting and extending collusionary practices between firms, particularly in industries where production is costly or complex. The author argues that inventories can serve as effective deterrents to deviations from agreed-upon production levels, thereby helping firms to maintain higher profits. The book examines the strategic use of inventories in a dynamic setting, considering both the production and sales stages of a firm's operations. It also analyzes the impact of various factors, such as demand fluctuations and the observability of production decisions, on the effectiveness of inventory-based collusion. The insights presented in this book shed light on the complex relationship between inventories, collusion, and firm behavior, providing valuable knowledge for researchers and practitioners interested in industrial organization, antitrust policy, and business strategy.
