This CPD is organized in collaboration with the Competition Commission.

Resource Person: Dr Pierre Régibeau, Chief Economist, European Commission

Bio Profile: https://www.concurrences.com/en/auteur/Pierre-Regibeau

Synopsis:

Competition Law is an area where legal and economic analysis are inextricably linked. It is therefore important for legal scholars and practitioners to understand the economic underpinnings of competition law as well as how bespoke economic analysis and evidence can help bolster a specific legal case.

We will begin by reviewing the economic reasons for the control of both vertical and horizontal mergers, before moving to the type of economic evidence that might be relevant to merger review as well to some of the most common economic techniques that might be applied to the available evidence. When doing so, we will refer to a number of actual competition law cases in a variety of jurisdictions. We will also consider some recent trend such as innovation-based theories of harm, killer acquisitions and early acquisitions.

We will then move to cartels, dominance and abuses of dominance. Given the huge variety of potential abuses of dominance, we will stick to basic principles: exclusionary practices versus exploitative practices, burden of proof, main economic techniques. We will then briefly discuss specific issue arising in the digital sphere, asking whether such issues are better addressed through competition policy or regulation.

Throughout the lecture, the emphasis will be placed on gaining an intuitive understanding of the main issues and on how to work, quite concretely, with economists on competition cases. We will also discuss the various manners of presenting economic evidence in Court, expert statements to “hot tubbing”.
