The economics of competition law have grown steadily in importance as regulatory authorities have moved to adopt more economics-based concepts when deciding what constitutes non-competitive behaviour. Most of the key strands of competition enforcement - such as vertical restraints, joint dominance, portfolio power and abuse - now rest squarely on economic principles.
This new edition of an acclaimed work provides an overview of economic theory and analysis as applied to European competition law, and covers the important legislative, regulatory and policy developments of the past three years since publication of the first edition.
