  text: In this article, we compare the distribution of price changes between collusive
    and non-collusive periods for 11 major cartels. Based on the theoretical and empirical
    results from previous research, we discuss the four moments with respect to price
    changes (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis). However, none of the above descriptive
    statistics can be considered as a robust test allowing a differentiation between
    competition and cartel. Therefore, we implement the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. According
    to our results, 9 of 11 cartels were successful in controlling the market price
    for a number of years. The proposed methodology may be used for antitrust screening
    and regulatory purposes.</jats:p>
