Conscious Parallelism Revisited, Reza Dibadj Dec 2009

Conscious Parallelism Revisited, Reza Dibadj

Reza Dibadj

Conscious parallelism, sometimes called tacit collusion, occurs where firms adopt their business practices based on what other firms are doing, rather than competing for customers. The most obvious manifestation occurs where prices across companies in an industry not only become suspiciously similar, but also change rapidly in strikingly parallel ways. Suggested examples are legion and varied: airline tickets, gasoline, cellular phone text messaging and roaming rates, interest rates on bank accounts, credit card interchange fees, movie tickets, recorded music, breakfast cereals, real estate and travel agent commissions, electricity prices in deregulated markets, and air cargo fuel surcharges, just to name …


Antitrust, Class Certification, And The Politics Of Procedure, Joshua P. Davis, Eric L. Cramer Dec 2009

Antitrust, Class Certification, And The Politics Of Procedure, Joshua P. Davis, Eric L. Cramer

Joshua P. Davis

This Article develops two arguments against a possible trend in federal appellate courts toward imposing a new, heightened standard for class certification in antitrust cases. Recent case law can be read to imply that trial judges may make findings of fact on the merits in deciding class certification, including about whether plaintiffs will be able to show with class-wide evidence that every class member was harmed by allegedly anticompetitive conduct. The first argument is that the potential new standard would require a showing at class certification on an issue—whether all class members were injured—that plaintiffs need not, and typically do …

Este ensayo analiza el control de concentraciones económicas en el régimen argentino.


Framing Franchise In Antitrust Litigation-The Legacy Of Kodak And Queen City Pizza.Pdf, Randy D. Gordon Dec 2009

Framing Franchise In Antitrust Litigation-The Legacy Of Kodak And Queen City Pizza.Pdf, Randy D. Gordon

Randy D. Gordon

A decade ago, many antitrust commentators were predicting a “revival” of franchise antitrust claims flowing in the wake of Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Technical Services, Inc. The thinking was that Kodak’s recognition of a claim for monopolization of an “aftermarket” for parts and services separate from each other and from a primary product might be extended to cover franchise relationships in which the franchisee is required to purchase fungible products from its franchisor, even though those products could be purchased elsewhere on more favorable terms. Fairly quickly, though, the Third Circuit decided Queen City Pizza, Inc. v. Domino’s Pizza, …
