Deterrent Effects of Antitrust Enforcement [United States]: the Ready-Mix Concrete Industry, 1970-1980
These data were collected to explore the relationship
between profit levels in the concrete industry and the antitrust
enforcement activities undertaken by the United States Department of
Justice in 19 cities over an 11-year period. The data collection is
composed mainly of published aggregate data on ready-mix concrete
costs and prices. Profits and estimates of collusive markups in this
industry can be calculated and related to antitrust enforcement
efforts. Variables include measures of wages and materials costs,
prices of concrete products, number of building permits issued,
gasoline prices, the consumer price index, number of laborers
employed, unemployment rates, measures of change in the Department of
Justice's Antitrust Division budget, change in number of DOJ permanent
enforcement personnel, and number of antitrust criminal actions
initiated by DOJ against ready-mix concrete users, producers of
related products, producers of substitutes for ready-mix products, and
ready-mix producers.
