Competition Policy: Theory and Practice

Autor Massimo Motta
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 ian 2004

Structura acestei lucrări este riguros compartimentată pentru a oferi un parcurs sistematic prin economia politicilor de concurență, de la fundamentele teoretice ale organizării industriale până la aplicarea practică în context global. Notăm modul în care Massimo Motta organizează materia în jurul unor piloni critici: analiza cartelurilor, fuziunile, contractele verticale și practicile de preț excludente sau discriminatorii. Reținem că volumul nu se limitează la teorie, ci integrează 19 tabele și 35 de ilustrații care susțin studiile de caz detaliate, oferind cititorului instrumentele necesare pentru a decoda mecanismele de piață.

Ca și Bruce Lyons în Cases in European Competition Policy, autorul distilează experiență reală în principii acționabile, reușind să echilibreze rigoarea academică cu necesitățile practice ale unui jurist sau economist. Această lucrare reprezintă fundamentul pe care Massimo Motta și-a construit ulterior cercetările, făcând trecerea de la viziunea panoramică din Competition Policy către analize nișate, așa cum observăm în Market Investigations, unde se concentrează pe platformele digitale, sau în Exclusionary Practices, unde explorează tacticile companiilor dominante.

Găsim în această carte un manual de referință publicat de Cambridge University Press, care se distinge prin claritatea cu care tratează intersecția dintre drept și economie. Spre deosebire de alte tratate pur teoretice, volumul de față include exerciții și probleme rezolvate, transformând concepte abstracte precum prețurile de ruinare sau foreclosing-ul vertical în scenarii de analiză aplicată. Este o resursă esențială pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă nu doar regulile de concurență, ci și logica economică din spatele deciziilor autorităților de reglementare.

Recomandăm această carte profesioniștilor care au nevoie de o bază analitică solidă în dreptul concurenței.

Este un instrument indispensabil pentru avocați și economiști, oferind atât rigoarea unui curs universitar de elită, cât și pragmatismul necesar în consultanța de business.


Descriere scurtă

This is the first book to provide a systematic treatment of the economics of antitrust (or competition policy) in a global context. It draws on the literature of industrial organisation and on original analyses to deal with such important issues as cartels, joint-ventures, mergers, vertical contracts, predatory pricing, exclusionary practices, and price discrimination, and to formulate policy implications on these issues. The interaction between theory and practice is one of the main features of the book, which contains frequent references to competition policy cases and a few fully developed case studies. The treatment is written to appeal to practitioners and students, to lawyers and economists. It is not only a textbook in economics for first year graduate or advanced undergraduate courses, but also a book for all those who wish to understand competition issues in a clear and rigorous way. Exercises and some solved problems are provided.

Recenzii

'Motta brings together today's economic theory with important cases from both sides of the Atlantic. It will be a valuable resource for students and practitioners, and I look forward to using it in classes.' Joseph Farrell, University of California, Berkeley
'Massimo Motta has filled a major lacuna by providing a comprehensive treatment of the modern theory of antitrust/competition policy. He masterfully blends theory and E.U. cases to produce a treatise that works at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, serves as a valuable resource for working economists, and is readable to many non-economists. In addition, by offering his own judicious views on the state of competition policy, he encourages the reader to go beyond digesting current knowledge and to think critically. A course on U.S. antitrust economics could do no better than to assign this text while complementing it with a collection of U.S. cases.' Joseph Harrington, Johns Hopkins University
'This careful treatment of the economics of competition policy, from an expert who has himself made important contributions to the theory, should be an essential reference for anyone working in the field. It fills a real gap in the market, and should be useful to practitioners as well as both advanced undergraduate and graduate students.' Paul Klemperer, Oxford University
'In this innovative and thoughtful volume, Massimo Motta brings the new generation of game-theoretic I.O. models to bear on a wonderfully wide ranging set of important recent cases in competition policy. This book will be of great interest, and of lasting value, to students and practitioners alike.' John Sutton, London School of Economics
'The book presents a good mix of examples, simple and intuitive explanations and more demanding, formalised models as well as exercises with suggested solutions. The true value of this book lies in its level of detail'. European Competition Law Review
