Abstract
This paper investigates the interaction effects between upstreamcollusion and downstream collusion. Upstream collusion does not depend on whether downstream are acting in collusion or not, and vice versa. Manufacturers´ competition can hinder the sustainability of upstream collusion, and retailers´ competition has a negative effect on sustaining downstream collusion.
