摘要：This paper examines bidding auctions for Slovenian state highway-construction contracts between 1998 and 2007. The
analysis reveals a high probability of bid rigging between competitors in the auctions. Joint ventures have a questionable role
in the market because they exist irrespectively of the size of the company and project. Joint-venture bids with two companies
are higher and have an above-average probability of winning an auction. In addition, four pairs of companies proved positive
for conditional independence, which implies phantom bidding among ring members.
