| Tiivistelmä: | The stubborn presence of racketeering in New York city construction is examined. The strengths and weaknesses of economic reasoning in explaining, and suggesting remedies for it are explored. Arguments are presented to show that in this industry transactions cannot be conducted efficiently either between a large number of firms or within a few large firms. Consequently, criminals can "sell", and profit from, their ability to impose organization on the industry. Criminal activity can persist because of barriers to entry in certain markets within the industry characteristics such as constant changes of, and restricted access to, work sites. The role of unions as a monopolizing institution may also facilitate criminal control. |
