- Title
PRICE-FIXING IN THE IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY.
- Authors
Berglund, Abraham
- Abstract
The article focuses on pricing in the iron and steel industry in the U.S. The author claims that the conditions in other industries were unlike the conditions in the iron and steel industry, which caused the definite fixing of prices. He notes that only after the World War I, upward movements in iron and steel quotations were pronounced. Because of the irregularities, the prices increases were not uniformed. The applicability of fixed prices to the public, the standard of the prices and issues with contract obligations were the problems in fix-pricing in the iron and steel industry.
