The Wto Legal System: Sources Of Law, David Palmeter, Petros C. Mavroidis
The Wto Legal System: Sources Of Law, David Palmeter, Petros C. Mavroidis
Faculty Scholarship
Modern discussions of the sources of international law usually begin with a reference to Article 38 (1) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which provides:
The Court, whose function is to decide in accordance with international law such disputes as are submitted to it, shall apply:
- international conventions, whether general or particular, establishing rules expressly recognized by the contesting states;
- international custom as evidence of a general practice accepted as law;
- the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations;
- subject to the provisions of Article 59, judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly …
Multiemployer Bargaining, Antitrust Law, And Team Sports: The Contingent Choice Of A Broad Exemption, Michael C. Harper
Multiemployer Bargaining, Antitrust Law, And Team Sports: The Contingent Choice Of A Broad Exemption, Michael C. Harper
Faculty Scholarship
Twenty-four years after pronouncing that "Congress[ ,]... not... this Court[, must remedy] any inconsistency or illogic" in the long standing exemption of baseball, but not other sports from the reach of the antitrust laws,' the Supreme Court last term reduced substantially the uniqueness of Major League Baseball's control over its labor market. The Court did so not by exposing baseball to antitrust attack, but rather by clarifying that restrictions on player labor mobility and freedom of contract imposed by all North American leagues of professional sports teams2 also enjoy an exemption from antitrust scrutiny as long as their labor …

The World Trade Organization's Agreement On Government Procurement: Expanding Disciplines, Declining Membership?, Bernard Hoekman, Petros C. Mavroidis
Faculty Scholarship
The Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) – originally negotiated during the Tokyo Round – was renegotiated for the second time during the Uruguay Round. It is one of the WTO's so-called Plurilateral Agreements, in that its disciplines apply only to those WTO Members that have signed it. In contrast to most of the other Tokyo Round codes – e.g., the agreements on technical barriers to trade (standards), import licensing, customs valuation, subsidies, and antidumping – the GPA could not be 'multilateralized'. With the reintroduction of agriculture and textiles and clothing into the GATT, procurement has therefore become the major 'hole' …

The World Trading System, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Faculty Scholarship
The Uruguay Round is closing this week after a marathon of negotiations stretching well over seven years; so the timing of this panel is exquisite, from my viewpoint. The ceremony, besides, is in Marrakech, an exotic place that sets our minds racing with thoughts of "Casablanca," Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Indeed, one can imagine a movie being made of this historic occasion that will transform the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GAIT) into the World Trade Organization (WTO), with Peter Ustinov cast as Peter Sutherland, the brilliant and portly new director general of the GAIT who finally brought …
Product Definition, Product Information, And Market Power: Kodak In Perspective, Mark R. Patterson
Product Definition, Product Information, And Market Power: Kodak In Perspective, Mark R. Patterson
Faculty Scholarship
In Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Technical Services, Inc., product information, market costs, market information the United States Supreme Court held that market power sufficient to impose an illegal tying arrangement can, at least in theory, derive from buyers' uncertainty regarding a product's costs and quality. Although commentators disagree on the implications of the Kodak decision, all seem to agree that the opinion's emphasis on product information costs is a departure from previously accepted economic analysis of antitrust law. In this Article, Mark R. Patterson argues that the Kodak decision is, in fact, economically reasonable, incorporating into antitrust law previously …

Economic Rents And Essential Facilities, Keith N. Hylton

This paper presents an economic analysis of the essential facility doctrine of antitrust. According to this doctrine, a firm or group of firms that possesses exclusive access to a cost-reducing facility must be prepared to share such access on fair terms with competitors.

Antitrust Implications Of Professional Sports Leagues Revisited: Emerging Trends In The Modern Era, The , Thane Rosenbaum
Faculty Scholarship
In a nation where sports entertainment is such a vital part of the American experience, it is somewhat surprising that the precise law governing the relationship between professional sports leagues and the Sherman Act is so noticeably confused and unsettled. Those who have sought uniformity in this area of law and scholarship had hoped to achieve some level of consistency between the highly developed principles embodied in traditional antitrust law, and that which seems to have evolved in the sports entertainment industry. What has remained from this academic if not athletic exercise is certainly not coherence, but rather a series …
Television And The Quest For Gold: The Unofficial Paper Of The 1984 Olympics, Victor P. Goldberg
Television And The Quest For Gold: The Unofficial Paper Of The 1984 Olympics, Victor P. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
While sitting in front of the tube watching Olympic canoeing (or Greco-Roman water polo, it's all a blur), I began to wonder about why ABC had been granted exclusive rights to televise the Olympics. The owners of the "Olympics" brand name could have sold the television rights in numerous ways. Why did they choose to have a single network provide all the coverage? Further, I mused, how did they get away with it? If the NCAA's football package violates the antitrust laws, how does the Olympic package remain within the law? It struck me that a paper speculating on the …
Antitrust Standing, Antitrust Injury, And The Per Se Standard, Daniel C. Richman
Antitrust Standing, Antitrust Injury, And The Per Se Standard, Daniel C. Richman
Faculty Scholarship
In 1970, a district court observed: "We must confess at the outset that we find antitrust standing cases more than a little confusing and certainly beyond our powers of reconciliation." The court could hardly have been faulted, for the confusion it noted has been endemic to these cases since the creation of the treble-damages action. Courts have never read section 4 of the Clayton Act literally to allow treble damages to every plaintiff able to attribute an economic loss to an antitrust violation. This unwillingness to recognize every such injury is fully consistent with the essential principle of antitrust law …
Competitive Process And Gray Market Goods, The , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley
Competitive Process And Gray Market Goods, The , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley
Faculty Scholarship
Although it has the appearance of benefiting the consumer, the phenomenon of gray market goods is, for the most part, a species of unfair competition. Where an exclusive distribution contract between foreign and domestic entities enhances interbrand competition and satisfies a rule of reason analysis, it should be considered a protectable property interest. There is little justification for permitting gray market imports to interfere with that interest by taking advantage of the good will associated with the distribution, marketing, warranties and servicing provided by the United States distributor. The antitrust goal of promoting long-run consumer interests is not advanced by …
Resale Price Maintenance And The Ftc: The Magnavox Investigation, Victor P. Goldberg
Resale Price Maintenance And The Ftc: The Magnavox Investigation, Victor P. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
Franchise agreements between a manufacturer and a distributor or retail dealer of the manufacturer's products often impose conditions on the dealer regarding items such as price, dealer location, service, and advertising. These vertical restrictions, whether price or nonprice, may violate the Sherman Act, which prohibits every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade. Whereas vertical price restrictions historically have been held per se invalid, nonprice vertical restrictions have been permitted, subject to a rule of reason. In United States v. Arnold, Schwinn & Co., however, the Supreme Court articulated a per se rule of illegality for nonprice vertical restrictions, …
Trigger Price Mechanism: Protecting Competition Or Competitors, The , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley
Trigger Price Mechanism: Protecting Competition Or Competitors, The , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley
Faculty Scholarship
The International Trade Commission asserted that for most of 1978 and probably for the indefinite future, the TPM was "the greatest single factor influencing the conditions of competition" in the U.S. steel industry. The precise contours of this influence are uncertain. While it is premature to assess adequately the economic impact of the TPM, it is possible to make some observations vis-a-vis our national antitrust policy goals. The TPM, like the steel VRA's of 1972, has had no discernable impact on increasing efficiency through expansion, modernization or development of domestic steel-making technology. The TPM, however, does have an impact on …
The Law And Economics Of Vertical Restrictions: A Relational Perspective, Victor P. Goldberg
The Law And Economics Of Vertical Restrictions: A Relational Perspective, Victor P. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
Vertical restrictions between franchisors and their dealers have long been a thorny problem in antitrust law. Richard Posner's characterization of the case law as a "fiasco" and a "doctrinal shambles" is echoed by many other commentators. Perhaps partly because of the intellectual confusion in the area, the Supreme Court recently made an apparently sharp change in direction. In Continental T.V., Inc. v. GTE Sylvania Inc. the Court reversed the decade-old Schwinn per se doctrine, holding that at least some vertical restrictions deserve a rule of reason test. Whether this decision will prove a more durable precedent than Schwinn remains …

More On The Equivalence Of Tariffs And Quotas, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
More On The Equivalence Of Tariffs And Quotas, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Faculty Scholarship
In an earlier paper on the equivalence of tariffs and quotas [1], I argued that this equivalence – defined such that a tariff would lead to a level of imports which, if alternatively set as a quota, would generate the same implicit tariff – followed from the assumptions of competitive domestic production, supply of imports, and holding of quotas. This universality of competitiveness sufficed to guarantee equivalence, as defined. It was further argued that a departure from these assumptions could, in general, destroy this equivalence and several such departures were analyzed: (1) perfect competition in domestic production replaced by pure …
Non-Economic Objectives And The Efficiency Properties Of Trade, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Non-Economic Objectives And The Efficiency Properties Of Trade, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Faculty Scholarship
It is well known (Kemp, 1962; Samuelson, 1962; Bhagwati, forthcoming) that, for a country with no monopoly power in trade (or domestic distortions), free trade (in the sense of a policy resulting in the equalization of domestic and foreign prices and hence excluding trade, production and consumption taxes, subsidies, and quantitative restrictions) is the optimal policy. It follows, therefore, that free trade is superior to no trade.
It has also been argued recently (Kemp, 1962), that, even in the case where there is monopoly power in trade, so that both no trade and free trade are suboptimal policies, it is …
