I might be a bit naive here, but I don’t really see how this would violate competition/antitrust law (other than potentially for very specialist roles that basically only exist at EA organisations): Surely the ‘market share’ of EA orgs for most type of role is so small that there shouldn’t be any way this actually interferes with the market?
(Just clarifying: I don’t think it would be a good or practicable idea for EA organisations EA organizations “to offer salaries based on the same formula”, but I’m confused why that wouldn’t be possible if they wanted to.)
An agreement of the type contemplated in the OP (as I understand it) would very likely be treated as anticompetitive “per se,” and therefore not require any empirical inquiry into the effects on the “market” (however defined).
