内容提要：Firms are increasingly relying on algorithms to determine prices for their products and services. However, a study by Calvano et al. (2020) reveals that without proper communication or instructions, Artificial Intelligence (Q-learning) can adopt collusive strategies. This has raised concerns among scholars and policymakers regarding the potential for AI to engage in collusion through learning in repeated price competition. In light of this, from an implementation theory perspective we construct a mechanism to deter collusion and improve social welfare.
