Download or read book How the Chicago School Overshot the Mark written by Robert Pitofsky and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the Chicago School Overshot the Mark is about the rise and recent fall of American antitrust. It is a collection of 15 essays, almost all expressing a deep concern that conservative economic analysis is leading judges and enforcement officials toward an approach that will ultimately harm consumer welfare. For the past 40 years or so, U.S. antitrust has been dominated intellectually by an unusually conservative style of economic analysis. Its advocates, often referred to as "The Chicago School," argue that the free market (better than any unelected band of regulators) can do a better job of achieving efficiency and encouraging innovation than intrusive regulation. The cutting edge of Chicago School doctrine originated in academia and was popularized in books by brilliant and innovative law professors like Robert Bork and Richard Posner. Oddly, a response to that kind of conservative doctrine may be put together through collections of scores of articles but until now cannot be found in any one book. This collection of essays is designed in part to remedy that situation. The chapters in this book were written by academics, former law enforcers, private sector defense lawyers, Republicans and Democrats, representatives of the left, right and center. Virtually all agree that antitrust enforcement today is better as a result of conservative analysis, but virtually all also agree that there have been examples of extreme interpretations and misinterpretations of conservative economic theory that have led American antitrust in the wrong direction. The problem is not with conservative economic analysis but with those portions of that analysis that have "overshot the mark" producing an enforcement approach that is exceptionally generous to the private sector. If the scores of practices that traditionally have been regarded as anticompetitive are ignored, or not subjected to vigorous enforcement, prices will be higher, quality of products lower, and innovation diminished. In the end consumers will pay.

Download or read book Fight, Fold Or Settle? written by Federal Trade Federal Trade Commission and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-16 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book models the reaction of firms to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decisions to seek to block proposed horizontal mergers. Finns' responses to the FTC are shown to depend on a number of factors, including the structural merits of the FTC challenge, the efficiencies potentially arising from the transaction, and the cost to the firms of fighting the FTC in court. For a large number of the FTC's merger challenges, we find that firms have strong incentives to settle with the Commission, regardless of the cases' competitive merits. Therefore, in these matters the Commission appears to have powers more like a regulatory agency than a prosecutor.

Download or read book Merger Policy at the Federal Trade Commission written by Malcolm B. Coate and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern Merger Guidelines have controlled merger enforcement decisions for the last thirty years. Economic theory has evolved (and continues to evolve) and revisions of the Guidelines have integrated some of these thoughts into the merger review methodology. This paper tabulates and evaluates information from Federal Trade Commission (FTC) merger analyses using data for 1989 to 2014. The FTC's workload focuses on horizontal mergers, with particular interest in health care, consumer goods, and a specific group of intermediary product industries. The evidence suggests that a shift away from coordinated interaction (collusion) cases occurred after the introduction of the 1992 Merger Guidelines, with a further shift focused on differentiated products after the 2010 revision in the Guidelines. Abstracting from a large number of mergers to monopoly studied, the structural characteristics of investigations reviewed with unilateral effects or collusion theories appear similar, but not identical. Most three-to-two and four-to-three mergers end up challenged, while other transactions often pass through the review process. Evidence suggests that the 2010 Merger Guidelines may have led to some convergence of staff analyses on entry and efficiency issues. Statistical analysis of the merger review process detects a little populism, but no evidence of partisan political influence on the enforcement decision. Merger challenge decisions appear fact driven, with the choice of theory not influencing the weights given to the specific structural factors. Weak evidence suggests the 2010 revisions might have had an effect on policy, but more information is needed before any strong conclusions can be drawn. Overall, it is the fact-based staff findings that appear to drive the merger review process.

This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Guidelines outline the principal analytical techniques, practices, and the enforcement policy of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (the "Agencies") with respect to mergers and acquisitions involving actual or potential competitors ("horizontal mergers") under the federal antitrust laws. The relevant statutory provisions include Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18, Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45. Most particularly, Section 7 of the Clayton Act prohibits mergers if "in any line of commerce or in any activity affecting commerce in any section of the country, the effect of such acquisition may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly." The Agencies seek to identify and challenge competitively harmful mergers while avoiding unnecessary interference with mergers that are either competitively beneficial or neutral. Most merger analysis is necessarily predictive, requiring an assessment of what will likely happen if a merger proceeds as compared to what will likely happen if it does not. Given this inherent need for prediction, these Guidelines reflect the congressional intent that merger enforcement should interdict competitive problems in their incipiency and that certainty about anticompetitive effect is seldom possible and not required for a merger to be illegal.

Download or read book An Overview of Transparency at the Federal Trade Commission written by Malcolm B. Coate and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an overview of sixteen papers in the informal Transparency Project, a comprehensive study of the Federal Trade Commission's merger files that grew out of the 2004 Horizontal Merger Investigation data release. Analysis is presented for market definition, structure, competitive effects, entry, and efficiencies. Most of the papers follow the same basic structure; they introduce an issue related to the Merger Guidelines, review the files and generalize from the results. Commission staff appears to apply a wide range of models to evaluate mergers. Of particular interest are the innovations in merger analysis, including, but not limited too, the concept of a significant competitor, the use of evidence to test structural models and the application of Net Present Value to entry analysis.

Download or read book Merger Policy at the Federal Trade Commission written by Malcolm B. Coate and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hart Scott Rodino program, coupled with the modern Merger Guidelines, has controlled merger enforcement for the last twenty years. Economists have offered numerous commentaries, some supportive of the status quo, others suggestive of change. This paper tabulates and evaluates information from Federal Trade Commission (FTC) merger reviews. The FTC's workload focuses on horizontal mergers, with particular interest in health care, consumer goods, and a specific group of intermediary product industries. The evidence suggests that a shift away from coordinated interaction cases occurred after the introduction of the 1992 Merger Guidelines; since then, theoretical choices appear relatively stable. Abstracting from a large number of mergers to monopoly studied and almost always blocked by the Agency, coordinated interaction matters generally exceed unilateral concerns, although the 2011-2012 period may be an anomaly. Statistical analysis of the merger review process detects a little populism, but no evidence of partisan political influence on enforcement. Merger challenge decisions appear fact driven, with theory influencing which considerations are important, but not the weight given to the specific factors. Of particular interest are the findings of a more aggressive policy in homogeneous goods industries, with this impact offset by a finding of buyer power. Overall, it is the fact-based staff findings that appear to drive the merger review process.
