| Research Abstract |
My co-author and I construct and analyse a simple model of duopoly pricing, competition policy and leniency programmes, and find that within the model, leniency programmes do have an indeterminate effect on collusion. We then conduct a laboratory experiment in the U.K. and in Japan in which human subjects play the role of firms in our model. We compare two leniency programmes - full immunity from fines and partial immunity - with a baseline where no leniency programme is in place.
