Abstract: This paper empirically estimates antitrust damage based on the rich information on cost factors in the bid-rigged Texas school milk market. Empirical results demonstrate that damage estimate by antitrust agency is a significantly underestimated amount of the true damage. This understatement of true harm inevitably induces implementation biases in the antitrust system.
