Abstract
In the article, based on the economic approach, the toolkit for identifying price collusion is considered. The necessity of using financial and extra financial information in the conditions of uncertainty of information flows for the purpose of forming a system of markers of price collusion is substantiated. A methodical generalization of the results of a number of authors was made, resulting in a modified methodical approach to assessing the probability of the existence of a price collusion. This approach contains additional markers based on the possibility of affiliated links and the correlation of a number of significant indicators of the financial and economic activities of companies prone to participate in price collusion. Approbation of the modified methodical approach at the analysis of the companies which are engaged in meat manufacture in Novosibirsk and Tomsk area is carried out and the essential probability of presence of a price arrangement is revealed.
