Winter in Helsinki

Jouko Hiltunen gazed out the window into the midday twilight. Eight stories down, across the plaza and promenade, the Helsinki harbor was already blanketed under a dusting of snow. By Christmas, the ice would be thick enough for walking out to the castle at Suomenlinna. Jouko turned back to his computer screen. His fingers found ... Winter in Helsinki

FTC UMC Roundup โ€“ Itโ€™s Getting Hot in Here

With forward movement this week on both the CHIPS Act (with the Senate version partially resuscitating UCITA as well) and ADPPA. It ... FTC UMC Roundup โ€“ Itโ€™s Getting Hot in Here

Dead End Road: National Petroleum Refiners Association and FTC โ€˜Unfair Methods of Competitionโ€™ Rulemaking

Introduction The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has long steered the direction of competition law by engaging in case-by-case enforcement of the FTC Act’s prohibition on unfair methods of competition (UMC).

The Cracked Mirror of Monopoly-Monopsony Symmetry

Slow wage growth and rising inequality over the past few decades have pushed economists more and more toward the study of monopsony power—particularly firms’ monopsony power over workers. Antitrust policy has taken notice. For example, when the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) initiated the process of updating their merger guidelines, their ...

Patent Eligibility, Competition, Innovation, Congress, and the Supreme Court

A highly competitive economy is characterized by strong, legally respected property rights. A failure to afford legal protection to certain types of property will reduce individual incentives to participate in market transactions, thereby reducing the effectiveness of market competition. As the great economist Armen Alchian put it, “[w]ell-defined and well-protected property rights replace competition by ...
