Applying Litigation Economics To Patent Settlements: Why Reverse Payments Should Be Per Se Illegal, Joshua P. Davis Dec 2008

Applying Litigation Economics To Patent Settlements: Why Reverse Payments Should Be Per Se Illegal, Joshua P. Davis

Joshua P. Davis

One of the most pressing issues in antitrust law is how to assess settlements of patent disputes that involve payments from brand name to generic drug manufacturers. At stake are billions of dollars, both in inflated prices to consumers attempting to meet their medical needs and in exposure to liability for drug manufacturers. This Article applies the economics of dispute resolution to clarify the costs and benefits of various approaches to assessing patent settlements in the context of the Hatch-Waxman Act. It concludes that reverse payments should be banned under a per se rule, unless and until courts are presented …

Opportunism, Uncertainty, And Relational Contracting - Antitrust Rules In The Film Industry, Ryan M. Riegg Dec 2008

Opportunism, Uncertainty, And Relational Contracting - Antitrust Rules In The Film Industry, Ryan M. Riegg

Ryan M. Riegg

For a long time, economists and investors have been baffled as to why Studios continue to produce movies with "blockbuster"-sized budgets (i.e. movies with budgets over $100 million) when producing those movies expose Studios to considerable economic risk.
By explaining the unique economics of the Film industry, and the effect of the Paramount (antitrust) rules on Film distribution contracts, this article provides an explanation to the puzzle of the blockbuster that is confirmed by recent trends in Film industry. Additionally, by using the Film industry as a model, this article also demonstrates how relational contracting can be understood as a …

As Semelhanças E As Diferenças: Regulação, Concorrência E All That Jazz, Victor J. Calvete Dec 2008

As Semelhanças E As Diferenças: Regulação, Concorrência E All That Jazz, Victor J. Calvete

Victor J. Calvete

As the improbable reader will be aware, the regulatory virus (RV) is everywhere. The RV occurs whenever and wherever state run activities, performed (almost) free of charge by badly paid civil servants, are superseded by state run activities, performed by well paid workers of an "independent" authority, made affluent by "regulatory charges" levied on the regulated sector. In Portugal, the RV grew strong and fast, and so we have no short supply of "regulators", even if only by name: with civil service lingering, shrinking, and shaking, being part of an independent "authority" (or a dependent one, for that matter) gives …

Strategic Considerations In The Emergence Of Private Action Rights, Reza Rajabiun Dec 2008

Strategic Considerations In The Emergence Of Private Action Rights, Reza Rajabiun

Reza Rajabiun

The design of mechanisms for the enforcement of rules regarding anticompetitive practices has been the subject of considerable controversy in both developed and developing countries. Public competition authorities have advantages in terms of scale economies and coordination of competing policy objectives. Private rights of action enhance the capacity of legal regimes to generate information and deter collusive agreements and exclusionary practices. Private enforcement also increases the transaction costs of regulatory capture. Given these differences, mixed regimes are likely to be superior to purely public or private arrangements. However, most national jurisdictions grant exclusive authority to public agencies and prosecutors. This …

Competition Law And The Economy In The Russian Federation, 1990-2006, Reza Rajabiun Dec 2008

Competition Law And The Economy In The Russian Federation, 1990-2006, Reza Rajabiun

Reza Rajabiun

Most developing and transition countries adopted statutes prohibiting anticompetitive agreements and abusive practices during the 1980's and 1990's. The effectiveness of these laws is nevertheless widely debated. This paper contributes to the literature by conducting an event study of the adoption of Russian competition laws in the early years of transition, the subsequent economic developments and the legislative reform process of 2002-2006. An examination of the substantive prohibitions and enforcement data reveals that Russian competition laws relied on complex standards and imposed weak constraints on anticompetitive practices. The more recent shift to simpler and more predictable per se prohibitions against …

Competition Law As Development Policy: Evidence From Poland, Reza Rajabiun Dec 2008

Competition Law As Development Policy: Evidence From Poland, Reza Rajabiun

Reza Rajabiun

The relationship between the design of competition laws and economic outcomes remains the subject of considerable controversy in both law and economics. Recent cross-national studies suggest that effective legal constraints against anticompetitive practices can enhance prospects for economic development by increasing the number of market participants and the quality of broader political and economic institutions. This paper explores the linkages between regulatory constraints against anticompetitive practices and the efficiency of market mechanisms by focusing on the experience in Poland between the collapse of central planning and regulatory harmonization pursuant to European Union accession. The analysis suggests that per se prohibitions …
