Horizontal Mergers: Law, Policy, And Economics, George A. Hay, Gregory J. Werden

The legality of a horizontal merger under section 7 of the Clayton Act turns on a reckoning of its social costs and benefits. This paper reviews what economics has to say about that reckoning and explores the relationship between economic learning and merger law and policy.
Transnational Production Joint Ventures And United States Antitrust Law: Evaluating The Proposed National Cooperative Production Amendments, Timothy K. Armstrong
Transnational Production Joint Ventures And United States Antitrust Law: Evaluating The Proposed National Cooperative Production Amendments, Timothy K. Armstrong
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
The explosion of the United States trade deficit in the last decade or so has produced a bumper crop of self-appointed experts offering various cures for the competitive decline of key domestic industries. Among their less obvious diagnoses is that the United States government strangles domestic businesses through the antitrust laws, which forbid industrial cartels that might be better able to match the competitiveness of the Japanese. For good or ill, the Bush Administration has hewn a path fairly close to this corporatist orthodoxy, and Congress has also appeared willing to loosen the hold of antitrust laws on United States …
Chicago Takes It On The Chin: Imperfect Information Could Play A Crucial Role In The Post-Kodak World, Robert H. Lande
Chicago Takes It On The Chin: Imperfect Information Could Play A Crucial Role In The Post-Kodak World, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
This article briefly describes the revolutionary potential of the Supreme Court's Kodak decision. It discusses the dramatic changes in antitrust that would occur if the field took concepts such as imperfect information, lock-in effects, strategic behavior, and other post-Chicago ideas seriously.
Among the effects of this decision could be:
(1) Imperfect information could substitute for traditional market share-based market power and reveal that a market that structurally appeared competitive in fact was behaving anticompetitively. Market share-based safe harbors are more likely to be inappropriate.
(2) This imperfect information-based market power also can lead to relatively direct harm to consumers by …

The Antidumping Laws And Principles Under The Gatt: Protecting Protection, The “Dunkel Drafts” And After The Uruguay Round, Heejang Yoo
LLM Theses and Essays
The antidumping laws of the U.S., Canada, Australia, European countries, and other developing countries are seen as protectionist of those nation’s local industries at the expense of foreign exporters. The fact that foreign exporters cannot obtain a meaningful judicial review of these antidumping laws only compounds the matter. This thesis urges nations to adopt multilateral competition-oriented antidumping polices and to abandon producer-oriented protectionist laws. Even if the notion of trade liberalization has been discredited under the GATT, the author advocates a return to such a goal in the context of antidumping laws. In reaching this conclusion, this thesis analyzes current …
The Application Of U.S. Antidumping Law To The Imports From The People's Republic Of China: Review Of Evolution And Need For Revolution, Li Yang
LLM Theses and Essays
Despite the dramatic increase in trade between the U.S. and China since the normalization of relations between the countries in 1979, China is still confronted with U.S. laws that hinder trade. The most serious threat to Sino-U.S. trade is the U.S. antidumping law, which authorizes the imposition of a duty on imported merchandise that the Department of Commerce determines is sold at less than fair value, if the U.S. International Trade Commission determines the U.S. industry in that field is materially injured. This law and cases interpreting it are examined. With its low wage rate and lack of cost accounting, …

The Differing Treatment Of Efficiency And Competition In Antitrust And Tortious Interference Law, Gary Myers
The Differing Treatment Of Efficiency And Competition In Antitrust And Tortious Interference Law, Gary Myers
Faculty Publications
During the last twenty years, there has been a revolution in antitrust law. As a result of extensive scholarly and judicial analysis, a new learning has developed concerning the content, role, and effect of antitrust doctrines. This trend has focused primarily on the primacy of consumer welfare and economic efficiency. Most commentators now assume that these two interrelated goals are the principal, if not exclusive, concerns of antitrust law. The United States Supreme Court has responded to these new approaches by modifying or altering antitrust law in a long series of cases. Similarly, the new learning has affected the focus …
Are Antitrust "Treble" Damages Really Single Damages?, Robert H. Lande
Are Antitrust "Treble" Damages Really Single Damages?, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article will show that antitrust violations do not actually give rise to "treble" damages. When viewed correctly, antitrust damages awards are approximately equal to, or are in fact less than, the actual damages caused by antitrust violations.
The article demonstrates this by analyzing the relatively quantifiable harms from antitrust violations, modeling the issues under both deterrence and compensation frameworks. It calculates rough estimates of those factors that affect the magnitude of the antitrust damages multiplier actually awarded. These adjustments to the "treble" damages multiplier arise from: (1) the lack of prejudgment interest; (2) the effects of the statute of …

In this Article. Professor Fisch examines the history and legacy of Lampf, Pleva, Lipkind, Prupis & Petigrow v. Gilberston, the controversial 1991 Supreme Court decision that established a federal statute of limitations for private causes of action brought under Rule 10b-5. In Part I Professor Fisch reviews the history of the 10b-5 statute of limitations prior to LampE Part II then analyzes both the issues resolved and questions raised by Lampf. Part III traces the congressional reaction to Lampf that culminated in the addition of section 27A to the Securities Act of 1934. In Part IV, Professor Fisch concludes by …
Antitrust And Sports: Must Competition On The Field Displace Competition In The Market?, Joseph P. Bauer
Antitrust And Sports: Must Competition On The Field Displace Competition In The Market?, Joseph P. Bauer
Journal Articles
A casual glance at the daily newspapers would suggest that athletes and sports teams spend almost as much time squaring off in the courts as they do on the playing fields. Professional football players complain that the teams for which they play and the National Football League have conspired to impose illegal restraints on their ability to offer their services to other teams. A baseball team went to court to challenge the decision by the now-deposed Commissioner of Baseball to shift it from one division to another. College players, coaches, and universities all contend that various rules imposed by the …
The Extraterritorial Application Of Antitrust Laws: A Postscript On Hartford Fire Insurance Co. V. California, Roger P. Alford
The Extraterritorial Application Of Antitrust Laws: A Postscript On Hartford Fire Insurance Co. V. California, Roger P. Alford
Journal Articles
Last year in the pages of this journal I published an article comparing the United States and the European Union (E.U.) approaches to the extraterritorial application of antitrust laws. In discussing the U.S. approach, I predicted that "while the jurisdictional rule of reason has its weaknesses, it will remain a lasting fixture on the legal landscape precisely because it represents the only genuine, though inexact, attempt by courts to fashion a jurisdictional test which incorporates the legitimate sovereignty interests of foreign nations." Thus, it was with disappointment that I, along with other proponents of a jurisdictional rule of reason, received …

From Legitimacy To Logic: Reconstructing Proxy Regulation, Jill E. Fisch
All Faculty Scholarship
On October 16, 1992, after a comprehensive review of its system of proxy regulation and after two separate amendment proposals that drew more than 1700 letters of comment from the public, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission" or the "SEC") voted to reform the federal proxy rules. The reforms were "intended to facilitate shareholder communications and to enhance informed proxy voting, and to reduce the cost of compliance with the proxy rules for all persons engaged in a proxy solicitation.' The SEC explained the amendments by stating that the rules were "impeding shareholder communication and participation in the corporate …
