"A reference book in this area of EU competition law and a
must-have companion for academics, enforcers and practitioners
alike, as well as EU and national judges." Judge Nils Wahl, Court
of Justice of the European Union This seminal text offers an
authoritative and integrated treatment of the legal and economic
principles that underpin the application of Article 102 TFEU to the
behaviour of dominant firms. Traditional concerns of monopoly
behaviour, such as predatory pricing, refusals to deal, excessive
pricing, tying and bundling, discount practices and unlawful
discrimination are treated in detail through a review of the
applicable economic principles, the case law and decisional
practice and more recent economic and legal writings. In addition,
the major constituent elements of Article 102 TFEU, such as market
definition, dominance, effect on trade and applicable remedies are
considered at length. The third edition involves a net addition of
over 250 pages, with a substantial new chapter on Abuses In Digital
Platforms, an extensively revised chapter on standards, and
virtually all chapters incorporating substantial revisions
reflecting key cases such as Intel, MEO, Google Android, Google
Shopping, AdSense, and Qualcomm.
Reflecting its reliance on fossil fuels, the electric power
industry produces the majority of the world's greenhouse gas
emissions. The need for a revolution in the industry becomes
further apparent given that 'decarbonization' means an increasing
electrification of other sectors of the economy?in particular,
through a switch from gasoline to electric vehicles. Of the options
for producing electric power without significant greenhouse gas
emissions, renewable energy is most attractive to policymakers, as
it promises increased national self-reliance on energy supplies and
the creation of new industries and jobs, without the safety and
political concerns of nuclear power or the unproven technology of
carbon capture and storage. Drawing on both economic theory and the
experiences of the United States and EU member states, Harnessing
Renewable Energy addresses the key questions surrounding renewable
energy policies. How appropriate is the focus on renewable power as
a primary tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions? If renewable
energy is given specific support, what form should that support
take? What are the implications for power markets if renewable
generation is widely adopted? Thorough and well-evidenced, this
book will be of interest to a broad range of policymakers, the
electric power industry, and economists who study energy and
environmental issues.
