  • Cartels and Bribes∗
    Cartels and Bribes∗ Roberto Burguet† Elisabetta Iossa‡ Giancarlo Spagnolo§ 4 June 2021 Abstract We study the relationship between collusion and corruption in a stylized model of repeated procurement where the cost of reporting corrupt bureaucrats gives rise to a free riding problem. As in Dixit(2015, 2016), cooperation among honest suppliers alleviates free-riding in reporting. However, it also facilitates collusion in bidding by increasing the value of the collusive rent. In turn, bidding collusion facilitates cooperation in reporting by increasing the value of having honest bureaucrats, gen- erating a trade-off. When the likelihood of corruption is high and competition is weak, collusion may be a price worth paying to curb corruption. Keywords: Bribes, cartels, collusion, corruption, free-riding. JEL Classification: D44, D73, H57, L41. 1 Introduction Cartels and corruption are widespread problems but the relationship between the two is not yet fully understood, nor taken into account by policymakers.1 The phenomena often coexist in public procurement markets.2 Corrupt public servants may collaborate with ring members against non-members or new entrants, helping to enforce collusive ∗For useful comments, we wish to thank Xavier Vives and seminar participants at CRESSE (Crete, July 2019).

  • 1 Chapter 1 California's People, Economy, and Politics
    CHAPTER 1 CALIFORNIA'S PEOPLE, ECONOMY, AND POLITICS: YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW Like so much else about California, our state's politics appears to change constantly, unpredictably, and even inexplicably. Politicians seem to rise and fall more because of their personalities and campaign treasuries than because of their policies or political party ties. The governor and the legislature appear to be competing with one another rather than solving our problems. Multibillion-dollar campaigns ask voters to make decisions about issues that seem to emerge from nowhere only to see many overturned by the courts. Some Californians are confused or dis- illusioned by all of this and disdain politics and political participation. But however unpredictable or even disgusting California politics may appear, it is serious business that affects us all. And despite its volatility, California can be understood by examining its history and its present characteristics, especially its changing population and economy. Wave after wave of immigrants has made California a diverse, multicultural society , while new technologies have repeatedly transformed the state's economy. The resulting disparate ethnic and economic interests compete for the benefits and protections conferred by government thus shape the state's politics. But to understand California today-and tomorrow- we need to know a little about its past and about the development of these competing interests. COLONIZATION, REBELLION, AND STATEHOOD The first Californians were probably immigrants like the rest of us. Archaeologists believe that the ancestors of American Indians crossed 1 over the Bering Strait from Asia thousands of years ago and then headed south. By 1769, about three hundred thousand Native Americans were living mostly near the coast of what is now California, while the Spaniards were colonizing the area with missions and military outposts.

  • Manufacturing a German Model of Liberal Capitalism: the Political Economy of the German Cartel Law in the Early Postwar Period
    JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AND AREA STUDIES 41 Volume 10, Number 1, 2003, pp.41-57 Manufacturing a German Model of Liberal Capitalism: The Political Economy of the German Cartel Law in the Early Postwar Period Chansoo Cho∗ This article examines the West German cartel policy process during the early 1950s. Decartelization was one of the top priority agendas of the United States, which was operating as a new stabilizer of bourgeois Europe during this time. The combined efforts of Americans and their German allies to liberalize Germany’s organized capitalism met with fierce resistance from both much of the business community and ordinary Germans. It took almost a decade for the Germans to conclude a cartel law, and it was a political process wherein different sectors of industry, Christian Democrats, and U.S. policymakers interacted with each other. A jointed approach that combines two-level games and sectoral analysis is useful to understanding the divergence of decartelization and deconcentration in Germany, which had the effect of watering down the original cartel law. The German experience provides a case of embedding liberalism into an illiberal social purpose that was to maintain cooperation within the markets. Keywords: cartel law, decartelization, deconcentration, Germany, U.S. foreign policy, Erhard, social market economy, two-level games, sectoral analysis 1. CONSTRUCTING ANOTHER GERMAN SONDERWEG This article examines the policy process of the West German cartel legislation in the early 1950s. The problem of the cartel policy was one of the crucial political arenas in which key domestic interests within West Germany and international forces driven largely by the United States contested for their own positions.

  • How California's Fiscal Crisis Became a War On
    “They Want to Destroy Me”: How California’s Fiscal Crisis Became A War on “Big Government Unions” Daniel J. B. Mitchell In 2003, California voters recalled their governor and elected movie actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in his place. Two crises triggered this event: large ongoing state budget deficits and a failed electricity deregula- tion plan. In his first year, Governor Schwarzenegger dealt with the budget through large-scale borrow- ing and had a reasonably cooperative relationship with the legislature. But in 2005, with the budget still in deficit, he threatened to go to the voters with a budget solution. That decision somehow morphed into a gubernatorial campaign against “big government unions.” Ultimately, after vast sums were spent on a November 2005 special election, all the governor’s initiatives lost, including one offering “paycheck pro- tection” to public union members. The decision to antagonize unions seemed to result from excess delega- tion of authority by the governor to outsiders and lack of control of his own staff. California, with a population of 37 million, is by far the largest state in the nation.1 It is also a place where trends have often been set in fashion, enter- tainment, and politics. For that reason, folks who want to create a national buzz around some issue look to California as a place to begin, or accelerate, the process. Soon after the business cycle peaked in 2001, California developed a fiscal crisis that produced stalemate and political intrigue. With regard to its budget- ary dilemma, California was not a trendsetter. Many states had similar problems when their economies—and related tax revenues—turned down.

Tan Department of Economics, Royal Holloway, University of London [email protected] September 2013 Abstract We analyze the effects of cartel policies on firm behavior using data from the German power- cable cartel. Antitrust authorities affected the cartel under two different legal regimes: penaliz- ing the cartel in some years, and exempting it for ten years from the general cartel prohibition. While penalties did not reduce prices or profits, making collusion legal raised profits by at least 16% each year, compared to the time when the illegal cartel was not prosecuted. The threat of penalties was sufficient to reduce profit from collusion.

    The JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES VOLUME LIII JUNE 1991 NUMBER 1 LEADERSHIP ON THE BANKS: RUTGERS' PRESIDENTS, 1766-1991 By Thomas J. Frusciano Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, was born out of dissension within the Dutch Reformed Church of America as Queens College in 1766. It struggled for existence throughout much of its infancy, surviving the torments of war and recession during its youth. The college transformed its shape and character several times during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 1945, Rutgers reached maturity when it was named the State University of New Jersey. The present configuration of Rutgers as a large public research institution is the result of political, social, and economic conditions that have changed the university over time. The modern Rutgers is also the product of immense dedication bestowed upon it by individuals who as students, alumni, faculty, and administrators have strived to achieve greatness. As the university inaugurates Dr. Francis L. Lawrence as its eighteenth president on March 3, 1991, The Journal takes this special occasion to look back over 225 years of history and accomplishments of those "Leaders on the Banks" who have charted the course that Rutgers has traveled-the past presidents of Rutgers. Chronology of the Presidents of Rutgers 1786--1790 Jacob Rusten Hardenbergh 1791-•1795 William Linn 1795--1810 Ira Condict 1810--1825 John Henry Livingston 1825--1840 Philip Milledoler 1840--1850 Abraham Bruyn Hasbrouck 1850--1862 Theodore Frelinghuysen 1862--1882 William H.

  • Collusion and Competition: the Electrical Engineering Industry In
    Collusion and Competition:The Electrical Engineering Industry in the United Kingdom and West Germany between 1945 and the Late 1960s Josef Reindl 1 DepartmentofModern History Lud•vig-Maximilians-UniversitdtMiinchen Thispaper contrasts the development of theBritish and the West German electricalengineering industry in one of its mainproduct fields, power plant equipment.It will be arguedthat the outstanding characteristic of British electrical engineeringwas companies' widespread collusive behavior, which created weak competitivepressure. Relying on sustaineddemand from a nationalizedelectric utilityand protectedagainst foreign competition, British large-scale electrical manufacturersneglected export markets and the development and production of consumergoods. The absenceof strongcompetition also prevented an early reorganizationof the industry and allowed inefficient companies to remainin the market.These factors, together with the general problems and shortcomings of Britishindustry, which because they are well known will not be dealt with in this essay[Sked, 1987, pp. 3-39],contributed significantly to the declineof British electricalengineering in termsof marketshare (see Graph 1). In termsof employmentand output,the Britishand West German electricalengineering industries were of similarsize, with West Germany over- takingthe United Kingdom in thelate 1950s. British productivity, measured in outputper employee, was almost always higher than that in WestGermany (see Table1), becauseproduct fields with highcapital requirements but low
