The context for this book is the increasingly complex relationship
between economic theory and competition law which gives rise to
lively political and academic debate on the direction competition
law should take in a more global and innovation-oriented market
place. The authors adopt a comparative, research-orientated
approach, taking into account different situations in the US,
Europe, Japan and transition and developing countries. They
investigate the impact of economics on the objectives of
competition law in various fields - restrictive agreements,
unilateral restraints and merger control - and on the effectiveness
of enforcement in a given legal and judicial system. Economic
Theory and Competition Law is an insightful resource for law and
economics scholars. Legal practitioners in the field of competition
law will also value this book.
The decentralization of competition law enforcement and the
stimulation of private damages actions in the European Union go
hand in hand with the increasingly international character of
antitrust proceedings. As a consequence, there is an ever-growing
need for clear and workable rules to coordinate cross-border
actions, whether they are of a judicial or administrative nature:
rules on jurisdiction, applicable law and recognition, as well as
rules on sharing of evidence, the protection of business secrets,
and the interplay between administrative and judicial procedures.
This book offers in-depth analysis of these long neglected, yet
important, topics. It is the fruit of a research project funded by
the European Commission, which brought together experts in
academia, practice, and policy-making from across Europe and the
United States. The 16 chapters cover the relevant provisions of the
Brussels I and Rome I and Rome II Regulations, the co-operation
mechanisms provided for by Regulation 1/2003, and selected issues
of US procedural law (such as discovery) that are highly relevant
for transatlantic damages actions. Each contribution critically
analyzes the existing legislative framework and formulates specific
proposals that would consolidate and enhance cross-border antitrust
litigation in Europe and beyond. (Series: Studies in Private
