Environmental Policy: An Unintended “Booster” of Competition Policy? Washington State University, United States of America We investigate how environmental regulation affects the effectiveness of competition policy (audits, leniency, and whistleblower programs) at deterring collusion. When competition policy is absent, the presence of environmental regulation does not affect the sustainability of collusion. When competition policy is present, however, we show that environmental policy amplifies the effectiveness of audits, leniency, and whistleblower programs at deterring collusive practices. Our results suggest that leniency and whistleblower programs can reduce rewards in regulated industries without diminishing their impact. Our findings are robust to environmental regulation being endogenous, production costs being convex, and firms competing in prices. | |
