Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy: Recent Trends at the National and EU Level

Description

This insightful book assesses emerging trends in the role of economic analysis in EU competition policy, exploring how it has substantially increased in terms of both theories and methods. Expert contributors examine the jurisprudence of the EU Court of Justice, which has become more supportive of effect-based analysis in EU competition policy. Chapters consider key topics including the role of economic analysis in relation to defining the relevant market, the challenges of competition policy enforcement in the telecom and digital markets, and economic methods to estimate damages in cases of private enforcement of EU competition law. The book also discusses the challenges faced by judges in reviewing the economic evidence relied on by competition agencies in their decisions and how these may be overcome. Providing a comparative analysis of EU competition policy at both the EU and national levels, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of EU competition policy. It will also be beneficial for practitioners specialising in competition law and economics. 9781800370180 [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Copyright [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Contents [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Figures [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Tables [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Contributors [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Preface [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Abbreviations [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Introduction_ From the legalistic to the effect-based approach in EU competition policy [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] The operation of the more economic approach after Intel and Generics [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] The effect-based approach after Intel_ A law and economics perspective [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] The kinetic rise and potential fall of market definition [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Current issues in defining relevant antitrust markets_ Data, digitalization and innovation [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Digital markets and implications for competition policy_ Evidence from recent economic analysis [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Margin squeeze_ Guiding principles and the state of the debate in Europe [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] A practitioners guide to quantifying damage [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] The passing-on principle in EU private antitrust enforcement_ A policy at war with itself_ [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] The effectiveness of judicial review of decisions of the Italian Competition Authority in the aftermath of the Damages Directive [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Economic evidence in Dutch administrative law_ A judges perspective [9781800370180 - Economic Analysis in EU Competition Policy] Index
