Монополия на лосося: влияние картеля норвежской рыбы на российский потребительский рынок

Abstract

This paper is an analysis of the Norwegian fish cartel in Russia that existed from 2011 to 2013 and its impact on the average consumer prices on salmon on the Russian market during the same period. The analysis involves applying two methods - “before-and-after” and “difference-in-differences”. From an economics standpoint, the analysis of the decision made by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia regarding the Norwegian fish cartel is interesting, because the verdict was overturned by the supreme court of Moscow. The study shows that there were no negative effects on the Russian consumer market in association with the case №1 11/109-12, which points to the lack of economic evidence behind the verdict put forward by FAS.
