Best PhD paper
Norwegian Association of Economists ∙ December 2024
The committee concluded that the winning contribution was John Sæten Lilletvedt (UiB) and Ole Kristian Dyskeland (NHH) with the article “Do Capacity Constrained Bots Collude?”. The article builds on recent research investigating whether algorithmic pricing can lead to collusion, a topic of clear policy relevance. This is particularly timely given the increased use of artificial intelligence in markets and concerns that this may lead to worse outcomes for consumers. The authors simulate pricing outcomes in a setting where algorithms (“bots”) can learn and have capacity constraints. Although they do not find evidence of collusive outcomes, the setting leads to higher and more dispersed prices. The committee regarded this as ambitious and policy-relevant research at the forefront of the field.
