Synopsis

Fully updated to reflect important developments in antitrust economics, The Antitrust Revolution, Seventh Edition, examines the critical role of economic analysis in recent antitrust case decisions and policy. The case studies--more than three-quarters of which are entirely new--are written by prominent economists who participated in the proceedings of that case. New and revised appendices support a number of the case studies and help students with the analysis of those cases.

Review

"IThe Antitrust Revolution provides detailed real-life examples of how industrial economics theory and econometric tools can impact policy and consumer welfare. The examples are relevant and fun for students to read."--Emily Wang, University of Massachusetts Amherst

"This book includes the fundamentals but presents them in a way that is interesting and appealing to students. It allows faculty to teach an antitrust class at different levels and has a real-world perspective that most economics textbooks lack."--Sarah Cosgrove, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

"A great book. It demonstrates the effect that economic analysis can have on real-world events and outlines how economic analysis has influenced and improved antitrust policy over the past fifty years. It's excellent for economics majors to see how their field has influenced the world they live in for the better."--Christopher Klein, Middle Tennessee State University
