- What the data actually shows
Existing theories of auction collusion as repeated-game stable outcome treat the phenomenon as isolated rather than as part of a larger polarity-based system.
- Why this is necessary

- What current approaches miss

- If this is right
Accelerates progress by revealing that auction collusion as repeated-game stable outcome is not a problem to be solved but a feature to be understood and leveraged.
