The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act: Do We Really Want To Return To American Banana?, Joseph P. Bauer Apr 2017

The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act: Do We Really Want To Return To American Banana?, Joseph P. Bauer

Maine Law Review

It keeps getting worse and worse. Over the past three and a half decades, the Supreme Court has made countless changes to substantive antitrust doctrine, making successful assertion of an antitrust claim more and more difficult. We have known for at least a century—at least since the Standard Oil decision—that the language in section 1 of the Sherman Act, providing that “every contract, combination . . . , or conspiracy, in restraint of trade . . . , is declared to be illegal” is not to be read literally. “Every” does not mean “every.” It means only “some”—generally, only those …

Equity Crowdfunding - The Jobs Act (Almost) To The Rescue, Zachary Ballas Apr 2017

Equity Crowdfunding - The Jobs Act (Almost) To The Rescue, Zachary Ballas

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the JOBS Act's reforms to private securities offerings, particularly its provisions for equity crowdfunding, and evaluates their potential to modernize securities law while balancing investor protection and capital formation. It highlights the Act's amendments to Regulations A and D, the introduction of Regulation Crowdfunding under Title III, and compares the U.S. regulatory approach with the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) framework. While the Act aims to reduce wealth disparity and promote economic growth, its effectiveness in achieving these goals and safeguarding investors remains uncertain.

Constraining Monitors, Veronica Root Apr 2017

Constraining Monitors, Veronica Root

Fordham Law Review

Part I of this Article explains the failure of recent attempts by courts and legislators to constrain monitor behavior. Part II then argues that one reason for the lack of monitorship regulation lies in the reluctance of bar associations to oversee quasi-legal behavior. It then explains why reputation appears to be the primary factor reigning in monitor behavior today. Part III discusses implications of this Article’s findings. Specifically, it discusses concerns regarding the disclosure of information, the boundaries of the relationship between a monitor and other parties, and the ways a monitor’s identity might be utilized as a sanctioning mechanism. …

Gorsuch Versus Scalia: How Will Antitrust Change?, Keith N. Hylton Apr 2017

Gorsuch Versus Scalia: How Will Antitrust Change?, Keith N. Hylton

Faculty Scholarship

Before writing this review of Judge Neil Gorsuch's antitrust opinions I took a quick look at what others have written on the topic. It was not hard to find several reviews of Gorsuch's antitrust opinions. Why should I write a review of his opinions, I wondered, if others have already done so? Why not simply refer the reader to one or more of the published reviews?

Combating Unfair Use Of Superior Bargaining Power In The Food Retail Sector In Germany, Wojciech Łyszczarz

internetowy Kwartalnik Antymonopolowy i Regulacyjny (internet Quarterly on Antitrust and Regulation)

The adoption of the new Law on Combating Unfair Use of Superior Bargaining Power in the Trade in Agricultural and Food Products constitutes a good opportunity to compare legal provisions applicable in different states of the European Union in this regard. German solutions are particularly interesting. This is a result of, amongst others, assumptions and solutions introduced in Germany, which are analogous to those on which the Polish provisions are based. This paper summarizes the history of German regulation, theories of harm related to its introduction, its practical application and a recent pilot decision of the German competition authority seeking …

Market Power In The U.S. Economy Today, Jonathan Baker Mar 2017

Market Power In The U.S. Economy Today, Jonathan Baker

Presentations

Market concentration measures the extent to which market shares are concentrated between a small number of firms. It is often taken as a proxy for the intensity of competition. Indeed, in recent years changes in concentration have increasingly been used to argue that the intensity of competition is falling, that the growth of large firms with high market shares is driving up profits, damaging innovation and productivity, and increasing inequality. Some have argued that the competition rules need to be rewritten and a crackdown by overly antitrust agencies is required. The simplicity of this framing has found supporters across the …


The Never-Ending Quest For Clarity Amidst Uncertainty: Hospital M&A And Antitrust Scrutiny, Ross E. Bautista Mar 2017

The Never-Ending Quest For Clarity Amidst Uncertainty: Hospital M&A And Antitrust Scrutiny, Ross E. Bautista

San Diego Law Review

Although critics say hospitals justify mergers in the same way as they did during the M&A boom of the 1990s, these critics frequently link the current wave of mergers with the purpose of becoming more integrated and efficient to achieve the level of cost savings and improved quality that the United States and patients currently require. However, the results from hospital consolidation remain uncertain because of the limited and mixed evidence about its impact on quality of care and price. Part I of this Article discusses the recent surge in hospital M&A activity. Part II brings some clarity by discussing …
