MaCCI Members Successful in Fourth SEEK Round

In the fourth SEEK round, MaCCI members received funding for two research projects in the field of cartels. Konrad Stahl, Philipp Schmidt-Dengler, Matthias Hunold, Kai Hüschelrath, Ulrich Laitenberger, and Georg Licht are part of a large international research team focusing on answers to the question: What legal cartels can tell us about illegal ones? Kai Hüschelrath, Ulrich Laitenberger, and Florian Smuda will study the anatomy of hard core cartels together with the leading expert on the economics of collusion: Joe Harrington from the University of Pennsylvania. SEEK stands for “Strengthening Efficiency and Competitiveness in the European Knowledge Economies" and is a research programme funded by the State of Baden-Württemberg that seeks to bolster international cooperation between researchers of all economic disciplines.
