Abstract

Do firms collude to improve their reputations? We examine Fortune's America's Most Admired Companies (AMAC) reputation scores from 1985 to 2010. We find that those firms deemed to have greater concern for reputation and opportunity to interact had significantly higher AMAC scores. These results support the existence of reputation collusion.
