The implications of such delegation of deterrence have largely been ignored, however. In a procurement context, we find that buyers may prefer to accommodate rather than deter collusion among their suppliers. We also show that a multi-market buyer, such as a centralized procurement authority, may optimally deter collusion when multiple independent buyers would not, consistent with the view that “large” buyers are less susceptible to collusion. date: 2023-06 date_type: published publisher: TSE Working Paper official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/128130 faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: Collusion keywords: Cartel keywords: Auction keywords: Procurement keywords: Reserves keywords: Sustainability and initiation of collusion keywords: Coordinated effects language: en has_fulltext: TRUE subjectsJEL: JEL_D44 subjectsJEL: JEL_D82 subjectsJEL: JEL_H57 subjectsJEL: JEL_L41 view_date_year: 2023 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper series: TSE Working Paper volume: 23-1441 place_of_pub: Toulouse. pages: 60 institution: Université Toulouse Capitole department: Toulouse School of Economics book_title: TSE Working Paper oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:128130 harvester_local_overwrite: department harvester_local_overwrite: creators_name harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: title harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: pages harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: institution oai_lastmod: 2024-03-29T09:13:18Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: FALSE citation: Iossa, Elisabetta , Loertscher, Simon, Marx, Leslie M. and Rey, Patrick (2023) Coordination in the fight against collusion.
