The Economics of Collusion
An examination of collusive behavior: what it is, why it is profitable, how it is implemented, and how it might be detected. Explicit collusion is an agreement among competitors to suppress rivalry that relies on interfirm communication and/or transfers. Rivalry between competitors erodes profits; the suppression of rivalry through collusion is one avenue by which firms can enhance profits. Many cartels and bidding rings function for years in a s…
Economics of Collusion
Cooperation in Economy and Society
The essays in the book analyze cases of cooperation in a wide range of ethnographic, archaeological and evolutionary settings. Cooperation is examined in situations of market exchange, local and long-distance reciprocity, hierarchical relations, common property and commons access, and cooperatives. Not all of these analyses show stable and long-term results of successful cooperation. The increasing cooperation that is so highly characteristic of …

Bidder Collusion at Forest Service Timber Sales
Allegations of bidder collusion at Forest Service timber sales in the Pacific Northwest were common in the 1970s. Of course, prices may be low for reasons other than collusion. The authors formulate an empirical model that allows for both bidder collusion and supply effects and in which they control for demand conditions. Noncooperative behavior in which a single unit is sold (the standard auction model) is a special case: it is found to be defin…
Urbanized Hamlets, Collective Action, and Municipal Administration in Japan
Urbanized Hamlets, Collective Action, and Municipal Administration in Japan
BECAUSE OF ADMINISTRATIVE amalgamations, Japanese cities contain within their limits substantial rural areas. Where they have not been overwhelmed by migrants, people in these areas continue to reproduce hamlet society through collective action. Although hamlets have not enjoyed legal standing in the postwar period, city administrations continue to contribute to their social reality. An examination of cases-instances of installation of city water…
Posterior Probabilities of the Independence Axiom With Nonexperimental Data (or Buckle Up and Fan Out)
This article addresses the issues associated with the construction of posterior probabilities for violation of the independence axiom of expected utility from nonexperimental data. To illustrate the methodology of analyzing nonexperimental evidence, we consider seat-belt-usage data. We find a posterior probability close to one of an Allais-type paradox in these data. In addition, the evidence is not inconsistent with Machina's Hypothesis II but i…

A theoretical and empirical analysis of the length of residency discount in the rental housing market
Collusive Bidder Behavior at Single-Object Second-Price and English Auctions
Models of collusive bidder behavior at single-object second-price and English auctions are provided. The ind ependent private values model is generalized to permit the formulatio n of coalitions and a strategic response by the auctioneer. Cooperati ve strategies are found to be dominant in these models; coalitions of any size are viable, and the payoff to each member increases with th e size of the coalition. In addition, the collusive strategies…

Collective Decision Making in Rural Japan
Harmony, Unanimity, and Collective Decision MakingDescriptions and discussion of group decision making in Japan are now widely available and range across the spectrum of settings from rural society to modern industry and politics, from a variety of historical situations to general statements applied to the whole of Japanese society.These accounts broadly agree, in both description and explanation, that group decision making in Japan promotes unan…

Giving a Gift to the Hamlet
This paper examines the strategic pursuit of family well-being and village status under conditions of overt co-operation and covert competition at the buraku level of social organization through the analysis of a pattern of customary gift-giving that developed after World War II in several neighboring farm hamlets in Aichi Prefecture.1 The custom described here consists of the regular and systematic giving of gifts directly to the hamlet itself b…
Heroes and Hebrews
Methods and results of the structural study of myth and Old Testament source and textual criticism are applied in this analysis of the myth of Moses. The context of the myth is first traced out through the historical circumstances conditioning the myth's textual development, and the major contradiction underlying the myth is identified. The myth is then shown to have served as a model through which the Israelites could resolve their conflicting p…
Effects of Reward Schedule Changes on Children's Speech Fluency
Speech disfluency indices were obtained for 50 young normal-speaking males who told stories about 30 situational pictures under continuous and/or partial (random) reward conditions. Four groups of ten children each received 100% rewards for the first ten responses (Condition I) and either 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% rewards for the last 20 responses (Condition II). A fifth group of ten children received 50% rewards for the first 20 responses (Conditio…
