Abstract: The work is an attempt to analyze leniency programs for cartel participants in terms of discrete structural alternatives of their design. A set of basic theoretical bifurcations in the structure of such programs is established. Consequently, for each bifurcation the main structural alternatives are defined. Leniency programs in the US and the EU are used to illustrate some of the specifics of programs functioning in practice. The analysis allows us to outline the problem field of developing leniency programs and to offer a number of solutions to emerging problems.
