Together Again: The FTC and DOJ Join Forces in American Needle v. NFL

The FTC joined the DOJ brief in American Needle v. National Football League arguing that the Supreme Court should deny certiorari.  The brief characterizes the question presented as: Whether NFLP, the NFL, and the teams functioned as a “single entity” when granting the company an exclusive headwear license and therefore could not violate Section 1 ...

Lambert's Latest on RPM in the William and Mary Law Review

The law and economics of RPM have been a frequent topic of discussion here for Thom and I especially, ranging from the empirical evidence on RPM, to competitive resale price maintenance without free riding, to the inappropriate use of the term “price-fixing” by journalists some who should know better to describe RPM,  to the Commission’s ...

Supreme Court Nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor and Corporate and Securities Law

I have been asked a few times today to opine, as a corporate and securities law scholar, on President Obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court.  (Cnn.com has a couple of quotes reflecting my thoughts.) I have three main comments: First, this is a pivotal time in American securities and corporate law jurisprudence.  ... Supreme Court Nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor and Corporate and Securities Law

Hylton, Manne and Wright in The Deal on Varney's Withdrawal of the Section 2 Report

Available here.  An excerpt: But wholesale rejection of the document — the most complete statement to date on the law and economics of Section 2 — because of disagreement with some of its positions is irresponsible and premature. And the rejection of specific conclusions from among the range of possibilities discussed in the report without ...

If A Tree Falls in a Forest and Nobody Hears It, Did the Bush Antitrust Division Cut It Down?

The NYT ran an unsigned editorial on “Intel and Competition” that, quite frankly, doesn’t make much sense to us.  It offers two basic arguments: (1) that the Bush administration DOJ is responsible for the state of Section 2 law requirement that plaintiffs demonstrate actual consumer harm, and (2) that foreign antitrust jurisdictions’ pursuit of enforcement ...

Peter Klein Throws Cold Water on New Economy Talk

Peter Klein of Organizations and Markets blog-fame kicked off the George Mason/ Microsoft Conference on the Law and Economics of Innovation a few weeks back with a talk on “Does the New Economy Need New A Economics?”   His answer: No.  This week, Peter takes aim at Wired’s Chris Anderson who predicts a massive shift toward ...

CPI Webinar: Economic and Legal Analysis of Collusion

Competition Policy International has announced its next Webinar, featuring Professors Bajari and Abrantes-Metz on the economic and legal analysis of collusion.  I’ve had a blast doing these lectures the last couple of weeks teaching Antitrust Economics 101, and will be finishing up the third lecture this week (after covering basic demand side and supply side ...

RPM Workshop Testimony

I’ll be testifying tomorrow at the Federal Trade Commission hearings on Resale Price Maintenance.   My panel will focus on rule of reason analysis of RPM Post-Leegin.  There is a bit of awkwardness testifying about different modes of rule of reason analysis with legislation that would restore the Dr. Miles per se rule pending, but it ...

Hylton, Manne and Wright in Forbes on Intel, Section 2 and Monopolization in the US

Available here.  Here’s an excerpt: It turns out that it is a very difficult business to identify the few cases when low prices and aggressive competition might perversely end up harming consumers in the long run rather than simply making them better off. And the cost of erroneous antitrust enforcement, such as mistakenly condemning Intel’s ... Hylton, Manne and Wright in Forbes on Intel, Section 2 and Monopolization in the US

Zywicki on Chrysler and The Rule of Law

My colleague Todd Zywicki has a must read op-ed in the WSJ.  Here’s an excerpt: The Obama administration’s behavior in the Chrysler bankruptcy is a profound challenge to the rule of law. Secured creditors — entitled to first priority payment under the “absolute priority rule” — have been browbeaten by an American president into accepting ... Zywicki on Chrysler and The Rule of Law

The EU Intel Decision, Error Costs, and What Happens in the US?

Reacting to the EU fines imposed on Intel, Geoff raises a nice point about the difficulty of constructing the but-for world in antitrust cases generally, but particularly in cases where prices are falling.   This discussion reminded me of Thom’s excellent post responding to the NYT editorial and an AAI working paper and putting theoretical anticompetitive ...

Good Stuff (Including Josh Wright) on Intel in Today’s WSJ

Our own Josh Wright is quoted in the lead article in today’s Wall Street Journal. Josh opines that the European Union’s record $1.45 billion fine against Intel for lowering its prices on granting “exclusionary” rebates on microprocessors means that FTC action against Intel is “much more likely than it was two weeks ago.” And what ...
