Abstract
This paper presents a “Granger Causality” analysis of the relationship between the antitrust enforcement activities of the Department of Justice and economic growth in the U.S. economy from 1891 to 2002. Professor Posner posed the question 35 years ago about whether there was a relationship between the two economic variables. The empirical results show some economic impact from antitrust enforcement on economic growth and little feedback.
