Definition: Predatory pricing is the practice of selling a product at low prices in order to drive competitors
out, discipline them, weaken them for possible mergers, and/or to prevent
firms from entering the market. It is an expensive strategy.
In the United States there is no legal (statutory) definition of predatory pricing, but pricing below marginal cost (the Areeda-Turner test) has been used by the Supreme Court in 1993 as a criterion for pricing that is predatory.
