| Research Abstract |
We collected data on collusive behaviors in auctions which are found and judged guilty by Japan Fair Trade Commission. Focusing on important items in economic theory and empirical analysis, we constructed a database from the data. We found that collusive mechanisms in the real world are much simpler than we expected. These results are summarized in a paper and it was published in one of the established international academic journal, the Japan and the World Economy.
