Catching Cartels
(2021) NEKP01 20211Department of Economics
- Abstract (Swedish)
- This thesis evaluates a new method for detecting cartels based on the idea that cartels create structural breaks in their price generating process. The method is evaluated along certain criteria and is further explored using more detailed data on Spanish retail fuel prices. A novel contribution with this thesis is to present an improvement of the method. The method fails to detect cartels and fails to live up to some of the criteria presented.
