Digest #5 - University of South Australia

from the
Director’s Desk
It has been a busy last few months for the CRMA – hence
the late delivery of this issue of the Digest! We now
have a new office team of Robyn McGeachie as CRMA
Coordinator and Rachel Gaetz as Research Administrator,
who joined us in January and June respectively. It is good
to have them with us. We bade a fond farewell late
last year to Belinda Spagnoletti who had been with us
since our very early days, and whose talents, energy and
camaraderie will be sorely missed.
Since the last Digest we have seen the creation of the
Centre for Asian Business, based in the International
Graduate School of Business. Its first Director is Professor
Ying Zhu, and I look forward to much cooperation and
joint research between our two centres. Our first joint
project is to host two Chinese professors (Li Xiaoming and
Pan Chuanping) from the Law School at Hunan University
for a one-month visit from mid-October. They will be
arriving just in time to attend the CRMA’s 9 th Annual
Competition and Consumer Protection Workshop, details
of which are given elsewhere in the Digest. While here
they will begin working with me and Centre member Ping
Xiong from the Law School on a two-year collaborative
research project on Australian and Chinese antitrust laws.
The CRMA’s research into one important aspect of the
history of Australia’s penchant for cartels is progressing
well. After considerable negotiations with the Australian
Archives and the Australian Competition and Consumer
Commission they finally released to us the entire surviving
content of the Register of Restrictive Practices that was
developed from 1967 to 1974 under the Trade Practices
Act 1965. This project, which will last for some years, is
being worked on by CRMA Deputy Director Professor
Martin Shanahan and me, along with four researchers.
Details are given later in this edition.

Some Questions with Raj Banerjee
Dr Rajabrata Banerjee joined the School of Commerce in February
2011 as Lecturer in Economics. Raj completed a BSc in Economics
at the University of Calcutta and an MA in Economics at Jadaypur
University before completing his PhD at Monash University in 2011.
While still a postgraduate student he received extremely high
teaching evaluation scores and we are delighted that he has joined
our Centre. We asked him a few questions about his past inspirations
and plans for future research.
What is on your research agenda for the next three years?
In the next three years, I plan to look at endogenous growth and
international knowledge spillovers with a special focus on developed
and emerging economies, such as India and China. Other areas of
interest are the nexus between population growth and knowledge
production for take-offs by economies since the early eighteenth
century and the Great Divergence, and the relative importance of
sectoral productivity growth and its sources, as well as a comparison
of productivity and sources of growth in advanced and developing
economies.
What publication and which author has been the most
influential on your work?
It is really hard to name one publication or author that is most
influential in life. Research adds new ideas and builds on existing
pools of knowledge and also helps a researcher to re-think a problem
more deeply. In my case, if I have to name any publications, they
would be Endogenous Growth Theory by P. Aghion and P. Howitt,
published in 1998 by The MIT Press, and ‘Semi-endogenous versus
Schumpeterian growth models: Testing the knowledge production
function using international data’ by J.B. Madsen (Journal of
Economic Growth, 2008, Vol.13 no.1).
Why did you come to the University of South Australia and
what do you like about it and living in Adelaide?
To build a successful career after completion of a doctoral degree is
the dream of every academic. Right now, UniSA is relatively young
and aspires to build a reputation fast. Associating with such an
organisation gives me the opportunity to be a part of a strong team
and will help me to build my reputation in the long run.
In addition, balancing professional and personal life is important for
everyone. My aim was to join an institution where there is freedom
to enjoy what I do and how I develop my thoughts.
Finally, Adelaide is a very happening city – the centre of the festival
state. The people are pleasant and helpful and, most importantly, the
weather is better than in other cities.
What has been your most significant award or
career highlight to date?
Publishing a chapter from my PhD dissertation in an
ERA ranked A* journal and achieving very strong
teaching evaluation scores from a class of 400 students,
which I coordinated on my own during my PhD career.
The evaluation report highlighted my presentation and
conceptual skills, which were higher than the overall
average of the department at Monash.
What do you enjoy most about academic life?
I think all academics enjoy the flexibility of time and the
freedom of doing research in their own areas, and I am
not an exception to that. I believe that if you love your
profession, you can love your life.
What made you decide to study Economics in your
university career?
This is a very difficult question because it asks
something about what happened almost ten years ago
and does not reflect much of my present thinking about
Economics as a subject. It would be incorrect to claim
that I chose Economics because I loved the subject or
I found it interesting! In a world of competition and
choosing one’s future, there were far more important
things that concerned my parents and me after I
finished high school than deciding on a study focus.
How do you balance your teaching and research
interests?
I have passion for both research and teaching, and
when you have passion for more than one thing it is
always difficult to manage your time. When both are in
the same area, it is easier to integrate them. The best
way to answer this would be to say that I maximise my
interests subject to a time constraint.

Some Questions with Manish Agarwal
Dr Manish Agarwal is our most recent PhD recipient,
having obtained his degree in March. His thesis, ‘The
Political Economy of Cross-Border Merger Regulation’,
was completed under the supervision of CRMA Director
Professor David Round and CRMA Deputy Director
Professor Martin Shanahan. He is currently working as a
Research Fellow with the CRMA on the Australian cartel
history project. We chatted with Manish about what
had motivated his academic career in the past and what
he is planning to explore in the future.
What is on your research agenda for the next
three years?
Writing articles from my thesis for submission to highranking
journals, assisting in the Centre’s project on
the history of cartels in Australia, undertaking contract
research projects, and applying for research grants.
What publication and which author has been the
most influential on your work?
I am an applied economist and I enjoy reading work
that is grounded on empirical facts. The two articles
that influenced me the most during my doctoral studies
are ‘Mergers and the market for corporate control’ by
H.G. Manne (Journal of Political Economy, 1965, vol.73
no.2) and ‘Negotiations under the threat of an auction’
by N. Aktas, E. de Bodt and R. Roll (Journal of Financial
Economics, 2010, vol.98 no.2).
How do you think your research can influence the
area/policies on which it focuses?
My thesis examines the effect of merger regulations
on foreign acquisitions of domestic firms. Officials, as
well as business and legal communities, have expressed
concerns that merger regulation regimes impose
regulatory costs and burdens, and create disincentives
for cross-border mergers. My thesis should bring about
a change in the mindset of these stakeholders. It reveals
to the business sector that a merger regulation regime
can be used as a strategic tool to reduce acquisition
costs, it informs governments and competition officials
that merger regulation regimes encourage competitively
benign mergers, and it provides academics with a new conceptual
framework for examining the broad effect of merger regulation
regimes.
Why did you come to UniSA and what do you like about it
and living in Adelaide?
The warm and encouraging correspondence I had with Professor
David Round (my Principal Supervisor) before applying for admission
to a PhD program made me choose UniSA. Since a PhD is of three
to four years’ duration, I believe it is important to have a supervisor
who takes an interest and is supportive. UniSA is an excellent place
to undertake research. The library provides access to a wealth of
reference materials and databases, the internal seminars are a good
grooming ground for any budding researcher, and the academics
at UniSA are encouraging and supportive. Besides, Adelaide is a
beautiful and peaceful city in which to live.
Are there any particular new developments in your research
areas that you are eager to explore further?
There is a growing need for robust ex-post evaluation of competition
policy in general, a research area that is still in its infancy, which I am
very interested in pursuing.
What has been your most significant award or career
highlight to date?
I believe the most rewarding experience for me has been the
research I have done under the supervision of David Round. My
focus has been on policy-relevant research and I have learnt that
a researcher should seek evidence that is, if not perfect, at least is
consistent with the other available evidence, and should provide a
logical and practical justification for every result. These research skills
will stay with me forever.
If you had not undertaken PhD studies where would you be
today?
Before coming to UniSA I was working in an organisation in
India which involved research and advocacy in competition and
regulation in developing countries. If I had not enrolled for a PhD,
I would perhaps be continuing with that work and researching
the constraints faced by developing countries in implementing
competition policy.
What do you enjoy most about academic life?
As an academic I enjoy the research process that involves identifying
a research question with an unknown answer, analysing data and
applying logical reasoning to determine results, and writing it all up
to tell a convincing story. The uncertainty at the start and the sense
of achievement at the end is wonderful.

CRMA Cartel Project
The CRMA’s Australian cartel history project is expanding
fast. In the last few months we have appointed Dr Manish
Agarwal as a Research Fellow and Dr Zdravka Brunkova
and Mr Bernie O’Neil as Research Assistants to work
with Professors David Round and Martin Shanahan and
Research Fellow Dr Kerrie Round. The first major task for
the researchers is to record the information contained in
the Australian Register of Restrictive Agreements that was
kept between 1967 and 1974, following the introduction
of the Trade Practices Act 1965. Commonly referred to
as the Secret Register, this comprises 14,480 inter-firm
agreements of restrictive practices made by Australian firms
and organisations. Because of the strict confidentiality
provisions that applied to entities that registered their cartel
agreements, access to it has never before been granted.
We are fortunate to have been allowed sole access to the
Register for research purposes.
Because the files have to be returned to the Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission, data from them
will be entered into an Access database to provide an
ongoing source of material for research. This will take
about a year to complete. Unfortunately, all the supporting
material, including correspondence, industry and firm
evaluations, and records of meetings between firms and the
Commissioner and his staff, was destroyed under the regular
disposal schedule of the Australian Archives. While this has
made the task harder, sufficient information remains in the
files to allow the team to develop a detailed picture of the
collusive and anti-competitive arrangements common, and
Australian Cartel History Project Team
generally accepted, in business practice until, and beyond,
the introduction of the Trade Practices Act 1965.
As a preliminary step the researchers did a quick run-through
of all agreements and recorded basic information. Using this,
plus details contained in the annual reports produced by
the Commissioner of Trade Practices, Zdravka Brunkova and
David Round have written a paper to be presented at the
European Business History Association conference in Athens
in August. Martin Shanahan and Kerrie Round have written a
background paper on the development of the trade practices
legislation and the Register that they will present at the same
conference. Bernie O’Neil has scoured the parliamentary
record, newspapers and other contemporary sources finding
further voluminous evidence of the presence of anti-
competitive behaviour and of the attitudes to it of various
stakeholders. He is currently writing a paper on this.
In June the cartel team welcomed Jacqui Donegan, a lecturer
in public relations at James Cook University and holder of
a Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship for Doctoral Study at the
Australian National University. She has also been awarded
the Alfred D. Chandler Jnr Travel Fellowship at Harvard
Business School, which she will take up later this year.
Jacqui’s thesis focuses on cartels in the confectionery industry
in Australia between 1890 and 1930, and so she has a great
compatibility in research interests with the members of the
cartel project.

Reporting From Abroad
On 14–17 June, Associate Research Professor Henning Bjørnlund and
PhD student Adam Loch attended the 9th International Conference
for the European Society of Ecological Economists at the Bogazici
University in Istanbul, Turkey. Henning presented a paper co-authored
with Professor Rob de Loe, Associate Dean, Research Professor
and University Research Chair, Water Policy and Governance at the
University of Waterloo, Dr Sarah Wheeler and Dr Alec Zuo of the
CRMA, and Cameron Parrack, one of Henning’s Canadian students,
titled ‘Exploring community acceptance of water reallocation options
to meet environmental needs’, based on survey work undertaken at
different community levels in Alberta, Canada (i.e. rural, regional, small
urban, large urban).
Adam presented his paper ‘An economic assessment of the
importance of trade constraints on environmental flow applications’,
co-authored with Drs Jeff Connor, Mac Kirby and Brad Franklin – all
from CSIRO – and Sarah Wheeler. The paper examined an optimised
environmental flow model of the Murrumbidgee catchment. Following the conference, Adam travelled to Sanliurfa in
southern Anatolia, Turkey, to meet with representatives of the GAP irrigation and community development project and to see
the Ataturk Dam and irrigation areas first hand. It is hoped that this visit will lead to future research ties and papers for the
Centre.
Finally, Adam presented a paper co-authored with Sarah Wheeler, Dr Dustin Garrick, formerly of the CRMA and now at
Oxford University, and Henning Bjørnlund, titled ‘It’s about time: Using allocation trade to secure environmental water for
Australia’ at the 18th Annual European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists Conference at Tor Vergata
University in Rome, Italy. He was also a discussant on one of the delivered papers.
6th Academic Society for Competition Law (ASCOLA) Conference
Dr Manish Agarwal presented the refereed paper “Does Implementation of Merger Regulation in Developing and Transition
Countries Impede Inbound Cross-border Mergers?” at the Sixth Academic Society for Competition Law (ASCOLA) Conference
in London, 1-2 July. The conference was organised on the theme of New Competition Jurisdictions: Shaping Policies and
Building Institutions. Dr Agarwal’s paper examines whether or not national merger regulation regimes, particularly in the
developing countries, impede the inflow of cross-border mergers by imposing regulatory costs and burdens on merging
parties. The paper demonstrates that competition jurisdictions, developing or developed, need not worry about the feared
stifling effect of merger regulation on inbound cross-border mergers. The other papers at the conference focused on the
topics of institutional challenges and obstacles faced by new competition jurisdictions in adopting as well as implementing
competition laws. Other speakers at the conference included competition law academics from universities in Europe, Israel,
South Africa and the US, officials from the Egyptian Competition Authority, Lithuanian Competition Council, South African
Competition Commission, the UK Office of Fair Trading, the US Federal Trade Commission, Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the UN’s
Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The papers can be accessed at the following link:
