          Abstract

          The objective of this study is to analyze the conduct of companies of crushed stone industry in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP), Brazil. The methodological approach is based on the New Empirical Industrial Organization (NEIO) and refers to the market power and cartel formation after the conviction of these practices. The results indicated that the industry has a small but significant market power. At the same time, the industry behavior is different from a cartel behavior. In this way, it is possible to conclude that complaints and sanctions imposed to companies that participated in the formation of the cartel in the MRSP were effective, since in the period from 2002 to 2013 there is no evidence that a cartel operates in this market.
