Here is more information about the talk:
Title: Communicating Cartel Intentions
Abstract:
This paper provides experimental evidence on what exactly defines a
price-fixing cartel. In a duopoly experiment, treatments vary whether firms
are informed about their competitor's intention to communicate or not, and
whether the availability of a communication channel depends on the firms'
mutual willingness to communicate or not. We find that the information of
the mutual willingness to communicate leads to a strong increase in prices,
which doubles the cartel-facilitating effect of communication itself.
Conversely, the information of a lack of mutual willingness to communicate
completely nullifies its cartel-facilitating effect.
If you are interested in meeting the speaker after the seminar (meeting
slots of 30, room no 05.303) please register via the time planner link
