Margin squeeze is a conduct by a firm that is vertically integrated (active on an upstream and a downstream market) and that has a dominant position on the upstream market. If the firm charges a price for the product on the upstream market which, compared to the price it charges on the downstream market, does not allow even an equally efficient competitor to trade profitable in the downstream market on a lasting basis, this conduct is called “margin-squeeze”.
