Summary
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.
