Prof. Cotter Quoted in Star Tribune on Allegations of Price Fixing of Chocolate Makers

Professor Tom Cotter was quoted in a Minneapolis Star Tribune article concerning an antitrust suit filed by SuperValu alleging price fixing among four leading chocolate candy makers. Cotter noted that price collusion can be difficult to prove, and that courts generally require proof of an agreement among defendants, not just "conscious parallelism" with respect to pricing.
