Funding

This project has been made possible by several research grants.

We gratefully acknowledge the funding by the National Science Foundation that supported the early data gathering effort (see NSF-Law & Social Sciences grants 1228453 & 1228483, awarded in September 2012).

The coding was subsequently expanded with the generous support of the Columbia Global Policy Initiative: “Does Antitrust Policy Promote Market Performance and Competitiveness?,” awarded in June 2015.

The project has also been supported by the Coase-Sandor Institute for Law and Economics and the Baker Scholars Fund at the University of Chicago Law School as well as Philippe P. Dauman Faculty Research Fund, the Mildred and George Drapkin Faculty Research Fund, and the Peter Drut Faculty Research Fund at Columbia Law School.
