Industries & Issues: Cartels

The AAI believes that the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division deserves outstanding marks for its cartel enforcement activities, and especially for the surge in enforcement that has occurred since 1995. However, the AAI has found evidence that the Division is in some ways being surpassed by other actors in imposing anticartel sanctions, leading AAI to believe enhancements to the Division's program can help it to deter even more illegal behavior, and bring even more benefits to the American economy. For an overview of AAI's positions, read the Cartels chapter from AAI's report "The Next Antitrust Agenda."
