Cartel detection is a must for competition practitioners to understand. Our comprehensive issue, organized by guest editor Rosa Abrantes-Metz, starts by reviewing the features of international cartels detected over the last decades. We then discuss leniency programs, emphasizing suggestions for their improvements using a variety of detection tools, followed by a discussion of the role of compliance programs and the evolution of anti-cartel enforcement—Brazil provides a case study. Next we look closer at a specific detection tool—screens—first reviewing their recent use by competition authorities and then discussing how to properly develop and implement empirical screens for conspiracies and manipulations. We finish with a creative example of screen usage on the defense side. Enjoy!
