Abstract
In most countries pricing decisions are constrained, either directly or indirectly, by the legal framework. In this chapter we discuss the most important features of the constraining legislation in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Economic Community. We begin with the United States because it has the longest history of significant constraints on pricing decisions.
