Written for partners, attorneys and associates at law firms in antitrust practice.
Antitrust economics is constantly evolving as a result of advances in economic analysis and research, and in response to developments in legal and regulatory proceedings. Antitrust law enforcement in turn generally reflects the main advances in antitrust economics. This book offers an accessible and clear exposition of the economics behind antitrust law, explaining several important developments in antitrust economics and discussing recent antitrust enforcement actions. Written by economic consultants and expert witnesses, the book discusses the economics of antitrust in a way that a lawyer, who may not have an economic background or degree, can understand. However, the text is not over-simplified, providing clearly explained formulae and equations. The book is broken down by merger analysis, monopoly and exclusion, and damages. The book stands alone in the field, of two competing texts, one is out of print, the other hasn’t been updated since a second edition in 2008. Antitrust Economics for Lawyers is MUCH more timely.
The authors are highly qualified consultants and expert witnesses specializing in antitrust economic matters.
The 2021 edition ISBN is 9781663319319.
