From the Paper:

"Carlton et al. (1999) describe cartels as a group of firms that explicitly acts collectively to promote its best interests. By restricting market output and raising the market price, these firms succeed a similar profit of that of a monopoly. R. A. Posner (1976) also defines cartels as The pure collusive practice that involves cooperation between competing sellers to raise the market price above the competitive level."
