Procompetitive Theories Of Vertical Control, Andy C.M. Chen, Keith N. Hylton
Procompetitive Theories Of Vertical Control, Andy C.M. Chen, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
In this paper, we survey procompetitive theories of vertical arrangements, and examine how these theories could be organized to aid interpretation of antitrust law. Given the ever-expanding body of literature in this area, this is a daunting task which we cannot hope to complete in a single article. Nevertheless, we find a market-structure based survey a helpful approach. We have introduced various procompetitive theories in connection with the market structures in which they are likely to be applicable, though we do not claim they could only operate within a specific market context. Our approach should aid antitrust courts in setting …

In his work, Chamberlain argued that a trademark enabled its owner to differentiate her products and then to exclude others from using the differentiating feature. By doing so, trademark protection can effectively …

Faculty Scholarship
On July 1, 1997, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) closed its investigation of the merger of the Boeing Company (Boeing) and the McDonnell Douglas Corporation (McDonnell Douglas), essentially approving the merger. The proposed $14 billion merger was quite significant, as it would unite the first and third largest civil aircraft companies in the world. Although the proposed merger had passed muster under U.S. antitrust laws, Boeing still faced the obstacle of gaining approval from the European Commission (EC), the antitrust enforcement agency of the European Union (EU). The EC initially sought to reject the merger and to levy heavy penalties …
