"This paper empirically explores the relationship between firms' market behavior and their lobbying activities in a regulated market. In particular, we investigate whether the amount of contributions offered by cellular service providers to fund the campaigns of political parties affected market conduct in the early US mobile telecommunications industry. We structurally estimate market interactions while taking the potential endogeneity of lobbying decisions into account. Our results show that competition was more intense in those states where campaign contributions by the cellular industry have been higher. Furthermore, we reject the hypothesis that lobbying activities can be regarded as exogenous in the study of market conduct." (author's abstract)... view less

"Im diesem Beitrag wird der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Unternehmensverhalten in einem regulierten Produktmarkt und Lobbying-Aktivitäten empirisch untersucht. Insbesondere wird analysiert, ob die für Wahlkampagnezwecke ausgegebenen Parteispenden von US-amerikanischen Mobilfunkunternehmen Ende der achtziger Jahre einen Einfluss auf das Markverhalten hatten. Die Autoren schätzen ein strukturiertes Produktmarktmodell unter Berücksichtigung der potentiellen Endogenität der Lobbying-Aktivitäten. Die Analyse zeigt, dass der Produktmarktwettbewerb in denjenigen U.S. Staaten intensiver war, in denen die Mobilfunkunternehmen höhere Parteispenden leisteten. Des Weiteren wird die Hypothese, dass die Lobbying-Aktivitäten exogen gegenüber dem Marktverhalten sind, statistisch abgelehnt." (Autorenreferat)... view less
