摘要

我利用手工收集的新数据集分析了航空货运卡特尔被发现前后的定价行为。我发现，卡特尔被发现后，价格并没有下降。此外，定价模式与卡特尔后的默契合谋一致。我的研究结果表明，航空公司的卡特尔活动（特别是制定了确定合谋价格的方法）为未来的默契合谋奠定了基础。因此，航空公司从卡特尔活动中获利，托运人在卡特尔解散后很长时间内支付了高价。

The impact of cartel dissolution on prices: Evidence from the air cargo cartel

I analyze pricing behavior before and after the detection of an air cargo cartel using a novel, hand-collected dataset. I find that prices did not decline after the cartel's detection. Additionally, pricing patterns are consistent with post-cartel tacit collusion. My findings suggest that airlines' cartel activity (specifically, the development of a methodology for determining the collusive price) laid a foundation for future tacit collusion. As a result, airlines profited from cartel activity, and shippers paid elevated prices, long after the cartel's dissolution.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
