Abstract
This study reports on the performance of experimental markets characterized by industrial structure and practices similar to those at issue in the Ethyl case. The central question is whether price competition is affected by the practices of advanced notification of price changes and "most-favored nation" contracts or is determined by industrial organization and concentration alone.
