PRICE-FIXING

price-fixing

price-fixing n. 〈美〉价格固定 为某一商品涨价、降价、定价、限价或稳定价格之目的且具有该效果而组成的联合。由竞争的厂商合作固定价格水平或范围,但自然的市场力量则不会如此。此类协议违反了《谢尔曼反托拉斯法》〔Sherman Antitrust Act〕。该法规定的价格固定有两种:水平价格固定和垂直价格固定。前者指竞争者之间的协议,如竞争之零售商之间的协议;后者旨在控制零售价格,如制造商与零售商之间的协议。州律师协会提出并执行的最低收费表亦属于《谢尔曼反托拉斯法》禁止的价格固定行为。 (→horizontal price-fixing; resale price maintenance; vertical price-fixing contract)
