Price Leadership 是“价格领头；领头定价”的意思，具体是指在某一行业中由某一特定大公司确定商品价格，其他经营者跟从采纳的市场状态。它表明了一种由被其他经营者承认为领头者的经营者的行业惯例。价格领头并非一定为该行业最大的公司。如果不能证明有共谋行为或垄断意图存在，则这种做法不属于违反反托拉斯法的行为。

为了更好的理解该词，以下是该词的英文释义：Price leadership occurs when a pre-eminent firm (the price leader) sets the price of goods or services in its market. This control can leave the leading firm’s rivals with little choice but to follow its lead and match the prices if they are to hold on to their market share.

如：

1.But under the circumstances with incomplete information, price leadership may contribute to the coordination of prices among the enterprises and constitute the concerted practice. 

但在信息不完全的情况下，寡占企业的价格跟随行为会导致企业间协调彼此的定价，从而可能构成协同行为。

2.Cost-plus Loan Pricing, Price Leadership, and Customer Profitability Analysis are the three main methods of loan pricing in foreign banks.
