摘要

摘要本文通过对石墨电极卡特尔内部工作原理的研究，有助于理解串通协议的组织形式。为此目的:(i)我们构建了一个数据库，其中包含24个卡特尔成员在协议生命周期内的49次会议;(ii)我们开发了一个概念框架，捕捉卡特尔成员与会议的隶属关系。利用社会网络的统计方法，我们发现卡特尔是围绕着几个相互接近的高度连接的子网络组织起来的。

Cartels as Small World Networks: Evidence from Graphite Electrode Cartel

Abstract This article contributes to understanding the organization of collusive agreements by studying the inner-workings of the graphite electrode cartel. For this purpose: (i) we construct a database that comprises 49 meetings between 24 cartel members during the life period of the agreement, and (ii) we develop a conceptual framework that captures the affiliation of cartel members to meetings. Using statistical methods of social networks, we find that the cartel is organized around a few highly connected sub-networks that are close to each other.

期刊介绍： The Review of Network Economics seeks to help policy makers, academics, and practitioners keep informed of new research and policy debate in network economics and related subjects that are relevant to the study of network industries. By publishing high quality research on topical issues relevant to network industries, it is hoped readers will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the economic issues involved and that this will improve the quality of decision making by private and public organisations, and debate among researchers. The articles can cover specific network industries, or may deal with general issues that have relevance to a number of different network industries, including topics in the economics of networks, regulation, competition law, or industrial organisation. Papers that provide insights into policy debates are especially welcome, as are up-to-date surveys, book reviews, and comments.
