About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the first book to provide a systematic treatment of the economics of antitrust (or competition policy) in a global context. It draws on the literature of industrial organisation and on original analyses to deal with such important issues as cartels, joint-ventures, mergers, vertical contracts, predatory pricing, exclusionary practices, and price discrimination, and to formulate policy implications on these issues. The interaction between theory and practice is one of the main features of the book, which contains frequent references to competition policy cases and a few fully developed case studies. The treatment is written to appeal to practitioners and students, to lawyers and economists. It is not only a textbook in economics for first year graduate or advanced undergraduate courses, but also a book for all those who wish to understand competition issues in a clear and rigorous way. Exercises and some solved problems are provided.

About this title

Synopsis

Offering a complete analysis of antitrust (or competition policy) issues, this study is enhanced by frequent references to antitrust cases and a few fully developed case studies. Although it can be used as an economics textbook in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses, the book is equally accessible to lawyers, practitioners, and readers interested in antitrust issues, but unfamiliar with modern economics. Technical explanations of material are relegated to separate "technical" sections that can be skipped without losing continuity.

Book Description

This book offers a complete, rigorous, and accessible treatment of antitrust (or competition policy) issues, and it is enriched by frequent references to antitrust cases and a few fully developed case studies. Although it can be used as an economics textbook in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses, the book is accessible to lawyers, practitioners, and all readers who are interested in anti-trust issues, but are not familiar with modern economics. The formalisation of the material covered in the main non-technical sections is relegated to separate "technical" sections that can be skipped without losing continuity.
