Abstract
The exchange of information among competitors can generate adverse economic effects, especially those related to facilitation of tacit collusion and price parallelism. Notwithstanding, in certain markets, the exchange of information may create relevant efficiencies, correcting distortions that hamper or even prevent the adequate functioning of the market. This paper will address the efficient exchange of information among competitors, with the objective to set forth hypothesis in which the conduct will be beneficial to competition.
