Synopsis

`Salant and Levenstein have brought together a dominant position in the English-language literature on cartels. This collection should be on the bookshelf of every economist seriously interested in competition policy.'
- F.M. Scherer, Harvard University, US

`Issues of cartel formation, cartel stability and cartel detection have long been at the center of the study of industrial organization and the design and enforcement of regulatory policy. These volumes provide an invaluable collection of the most important articles in this field. They make accessible a number of important historical pieces and also provide a nice mix of theory and empiricism. They should form a standard reference for those interested in industrial organization in general and regulation in particular.'
- George Norman, Tufts University, US

Review:

`This is the ultimate collection of primary documents and previously published economic articles on cartels, carefully selected and clearly presented in ten parts. Although the focus is mainly on the economics of cartels, lawyers will also find extremely interesting material on historical cartel agreements, theoretical and empirical studies on cartel enforcement and game-theory analyses of cartel behaviour. A must have for any serious competition law library.' -- Ioannis Lianos, World Competition `Salant and Levenstein have brought together a dominant position in the English-language literature on cartels.
