Abstract

In this article the effects of cartelization on firms’ efficiency are investigated using the example of an early twentieth century coal-mining cartel in Upper Silesia: the Upper Silesian Coal Convention. Established in 1898, the cartel comprised various types of private, as well as state-owned, mining enterprises. Using a microeconomic dataset based on firm-level data of the Upper Silesian mines, I focus on the cartel’s effect on efficiency. The cartel did not significantly reduce technical efficiency among mines. This finding confirms previous research on cartels’ effects on efficiency.

1880-1913年上西里西亚的卡特尔化与企业绩效

本文以20世纪初上西里西亚的煤矿卡特尔为例，研究了卡特尔化对企业效率的影响:上西里西亚煤炭公约。该卡特尔成立于1898年，由各种类型的私营和国有矿业企业组成。使用基于上西里西亚矿区企业层面数据的微观经济数据集，我关注卡特尔对效率的影响。卡特尔并没有显著降低矿山之间的技术效率。这一发现证实了之前关于卡特尔对效率影响的研究。
