摘要

2014年12月,海之鸡罐头金枪鱼的母公司Thai Union宣布,已与Lion Capital达成收购Bumble Bee金枪鱼的协议。在标准的合并审查过程中,司法部传唤了合并各方以及StarKist的母公司,调查主要金枪鱼罐头生产商之间可能存在的勾结。这导致了几起集体诉讼和一起操纵价格的刑事定罪。本文描述了这些公司是如何被指控串通的,并使用零售扫描仪数据来记录卡特尔运作时价格和促销活动的变化。讨论了今后的研究方向。

Price-Fixing Allegations in the Canned Tuna Industry: A Look at the Data
In December 2014, Thai Union, the parent company of Chicken of the Sea canned tuna announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire Bumble Bee tuna from Lion Capital. In the course of standard merger review, the Department of Justice subpoenaed the merging parties as well as the parent company of StarKist to investigate possible collusion among the major producers of canned tuna. This led to several class action lawsuits and a criminal conviction for price fixing. This paper describes how these firms were alleged to have colluded and uses retail scanner data to document how prices and promotional activity changed while the cartel was in operation. Avenues for future research are discussed.
