Summary
What’s in this book:
The studies collected in this volume – prepared by senior Commission
officials and competition policy experts – range from the ex post
evaluation of specific policy interventions to the assessment of the
broader impact of competition policy. The issues and topics examined
include the following:
- objectives and scope of evaluations by the European Commission;
- description of counterfactual evaluation techniques that are used;
- conditions for a successful ex post evaluation of a competition policy intervention;
- a wide selection of individual cases covering a variety of economic sectors;
- applications in merger control, antitrust and State aid;
- direct benefits of competition policy interventions for consumers;
- deterrent effects of such interventions on market participants; and
- macroeconomic outcomes in terms of job creation, productivity and GDP growth.
By presenting a collection of robust ex post evaluations on a wide range of topics, this book sets out the path for future development of ex post evaluation in the competition policy domain.
How this will help you:
This matchless book assembles within a single volume all that is needed
for competition policy analysts and practitioners to undertake ex post
economic evaluations. While its collection of state-of-the-art ex post
evaluation studies has a clear value for competition authorities, it is
sure to be welcomed as well by competition law practitioners in the
private sector, who will greatly appreciate the effort made to cast a
critical eye on decisions made in the past. Moreover, it allows for
addressing some of the new challenges facing competition policymakers.
