Estimation of social multiplier with application: cartel and environmental standard

一个经济主体至少取决于该经济主体所属群体的行为。群体的行为如何对经济主体产生影响？本研究的目的是估计一个社会乘数，即经济主体对群体行为的敏感程度。作为一个例子，我以日本实际实施的卡特尔为例。估计的社会乘数在统计上具有重要意义，而且是积极的。这表明代理正向同步组。当经济环境的正常运行正常时，该组织无法卡特尔。

An economic agent at least depends on the action of the group that the economic agent belongs. How does the action of the group have an influence on an economic agent? The purpose of this research is to estimate a social multiplier that means to what extent the economic agent is sensitive to the action of the group. As an example, I take the cartel actually implemented in Japan. The social multiplier estimated is statistically significant and positive. This shows the agent positively synchronize the group. The group could not cartelize when the norm of the economic environment worked properly.
