Afterword: Could A Merger Lead To Both A Monopoly And A Lower Price?, Alan A. Fisher Ph.D., Robert H. Lande, Walter Vandaele
All Faculty Scholarship
This article demonstrates that significant net efficiencies from a merger could cause prices to decrease, even if the merger results in a monopoly. The article also shows that a price focus would require substantially more efficiencies to justify an otherwise anticompetitive merger than would an efficiency focus (in other words, it re-does the Williamsonian merger tradeoff, using price to consumers instead of net efficiencies as its focus). We demonstrate this by calculating how large the necessary efficiency gains would have to be to prevent price increases under different market conditions.
Efficiency Considerations In Merger Enforcement, Alan A. Fisher Ph.D., Robert H. Lande
Efficiency Considerations In Merger Enforcement, Alan A. Fisher Ph.D., Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
This is one of the first articles to demonstrate that the primary goal of antitrust is neither exclusively to enhance economic efficiency, nor to address any social or political factor. Rather, the overriding intent behind the merger laws was to prevent prices to purchasers from rising due to mergers (a wealth transfer concern). This is the first article to show how to analyze mergers with this goal in mind. Doing so challenges the fundamental underpinnings of Williamsonian merger analysis (which assumes mergers should be evaluated only in terms of net efficiency effects).
In this and three related articles we re-do …
Restricted Distribution Contracts And The Opportunistic Pursuit Of Treble Damages, Henry N. Butler
Restricted Distribution Contracts And The Opportunistic Pursuit Of Treble Damages, Henry N. Butler
Washington Law Review
The analysis presented in this article addresses the narrow issue of the effects of potential treble damage actions on the behavior of contractually-related manufacturers and distributors. Part II of this article presents the notion of opportunistic behavior, which has influenced much of the economic analysis and the Supreme Court's recent treatment of vertical nonprice restraints. The transformation of the threat of opportunism into socially-wasteful expenditures of resources is also discussed. Part III examines the problematic role of opportunism in the distribution of goods, restricted distribution practices that aim to solve the problem, and the antitrust treatment of such restricted distribution …

The Scope Of Judicial Review Of Consent Decrees Under The Antitrust Procedures And Penalties Act Of 1974, Michigan Law Review
The Scope Of Judicial Review Of Consent Decrees Under The Antitrust Procedures And Penalties Act Of 1974, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In the wake of this uncertainty, this Note analyzes the proper scope of judicial review of consent decrees. The Note argues that to further the policies embodied in the APP A, courts should undertake intense review of proposed settlements before entering them as final judgments. Both the congressional intent in enacting the APP A and the public's interest in effective enforcement of the antitrust laws support intense judicial review. The Note then demonstrates that the deferential standard that some courts have applied is derived mainly from a case that is inapplicable to the review of consent decrees. Finally, the Note …

Recognition Of The National Football League As A Single Entity Under Section 1 Of The Sherman Act: Implications Of The Consumer Welfare Model, Myron C. Grauer
Recognition Of The National Football League As A Single Entity Under Section 1 Of The Sherman Act: Implications Of The Consumer Welfare Model, Myron C. Grauer
Michigan Law Review
This article argues that Justice Rehnquist has analyzed the operational structure of the NFL in a manner that is consistent with proper antitrust enforcement policy, and expands upon the view that he espoused. It contends that the NFL is analogous to a law firm partnership, with the teams analogous to departments or partners that can make operating rules for the firm without fear of violating section 1 of the Sherman Act. In arriving at the opposite conclusion, both the Oakland Raiders and NASL courts relied on several cases involving player restraints that presupposed that teams in professional sports leagues, such …

Employee Standing Under Section 4 Of The Clayton Act, Michigan Law Review
Employee Standing Under Section 4 Of The Clayton Act, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note will focus on the confusion that plagues one category of antitrust standing cases, those in which an employee alleges wrongful discharge for his refusal to participate in a scheme that violates the antitrust laws. Conflicts among the circuits in their analysis and resolution of these employee standing cases have not been definitively settled by the Supreme Court's recent pronouncements on the right to seek recovery under section 4. This Note argues that these recent Supreme Court decisions, as well as the policies behind the antitrust laws, weigh in favor of permitting an employee to maintain a section 4 …

Federal And State Roles In Telecommunications: The Effects Of Deregulation, Eli M. Noam
Federal And State Roles In Telecommunications: The Effects Of Deregulation, Eli M. Noam
Vanderbilt Law Review
During the past decade, federal telecommunications regulatory policy has changed its focus from a goal of universally available and affordable residential service to one of economic efficiency. In changing its regulatory focus, the federal government has indirectly deprived the states of the means to accomplish their goal, which remains one of insuring universally available and affordable residential service. In his Article Professor Noam examines the evolution of the traditional federal-state coregulatory system, contrasts the emerging federal regulatory approach with the states' policies, and discusses the reasons for federal predominance in telecommunications regulation.He argues that the reorientation in federal regulatory policy …

Tying Arrangements And Class Actions, Herbert Hovenkamp
Tying Arrangements And Class Actions, Herbert Hovenkamp
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article does not attempt to identify socially harmful tying arrangements." Rather, it draws upon the vast literature and case law of tying arrangements to suggest possible solutions to a perplexing problem in the law of antitrust class actions: under what circumstances do common questions predominate over individual questions in tying arrangement cases and thereby justify class action treatment? Courts today agree generally that although the amount of damages may vary considerably from one prospective class member to another, certification of a class action requires that the fact of injury be demonstrable by proof common to all members of a …
