Assessing Collusion Risks in Public Construction Projects: A Case of China

Collusion has been defined as a set of behaviours where competitors coordinate their market behaviour surreptitiously, which is contrary to the principles of free competition (Chotibhongs and Arditi 2012a, b; Zarkada-Fraser 2000).
