4. Centralized procurement and delivery times : evidence from a natural experiment in Italy
abstractWe study how delivery times and prices for hospital medical devices respond to the introduction of centralized procurement. Our identification strategy leverages a legislative change in Italy that mandated centralized purchases for a sub-set of devices. The statutory centralization generated a reduction in prices and an increase in delivery times for centralized purchases relative to non-centralized purchases. We use data on quantities and on suppliers to discuss the mechanisms potentially underlying our findings.

6. Complementary bidding and the collusive arrangement : evidence from an antitrust investigation
abstractA number of recent papers have proposed that a pattern of isolated winning bids may be associated with collusion. In contrast, others have suggested that bid clustering, especially of the two lowest bids, is indicative of collusion. In this paper, we present evidence from an actual procurement cartel uncovered during an anticollusion investigation that reconciles these two points of view and shows that both patterns arise naturally together as part of a cartel arrangement featuring complementary bidding. Using a difference-in-difference approach, we compare the extent of winning-bid isolation and clustering of bids in Montreal's asphalt industry before and after the investigation to patterns over the same time span in Quebec City, whose asphalt industry has not been the subject of collusion allegations. Our findings provide causal evidence that the collusive arrangement featured both clustering and isolation. We use information from testimony of alleged participants in the cartels to explain how these two seemingly contradictory patterns can be harmonized.

Link 9. Procurement with Manipulation
abstractUsing data from Italian public works, we study whether and which procuring administrations manipulate the value of contracts to avoid crossing regulatory thresholds that limit discretion, and how this impacts procurement outcomes. We use bunching estimators to document substantial manipulation just below these thresholds, performed by administrations led by appointed officials but not by elected ones. We estimate the effects of manipulation and find that it increases the use of discretionary procedures (restricted auctions), thereby reducing the number of bidders, works’ length, delays in delivery, and cost overruns, with mixed effects on rebates. Manipulation also increases repeated awards of contracts to less financially risky suppliers. We cross-validate our estimates using a reform that lowered the thresholds and find less use of discretion, lower procurement costs and increased delays and costs overruns, especially for administrations with appointed officials. A simple model where administrations may choose to manipulate the value of contracts provides guidance to our empirical analysis
