Regulatory authorities have moved to a more economics-based approach in deciding what constitutes anti-competitive behaviour. This course introduces into topics such as: market power, cartels (Article 101 TFEU), abuses of dominant position (e.g. predatory behavior, margin squeezes and others – Article 102 TFEU), mergers, calculation of damages and empirical techniques used in competition analyses. |
