And we certainly want to take this […]

John M. Connor, Sep 28, 2011 In the old days-before price-fixing became illegal nearly everywhere-cartels operated in the public sphere. In some cases, the formation of a new cartel would be trumpeted to the business press because after a disastrous decline in prices, the market needed to be “stabilized.” Sometimes these saviors of industries would […]

In this issue: For this holiday issue, we’re presenting the CPI Gift Bag—a collection of articles on a variety of themes with something for everyone. To start, Marc Levinson has both written and given us an interview on one of the strangest cases in antitrust history—the A&P case. The parallels to today are striking. Then […]

In this issue: Brazil’s comprehensive overhaul of their competition law was signed into law on Nov. 30, 2011. We’re pleased to present this timely issue—including articles written by authors from within and outside Brazil as well as several formerly active in Brazil’s competition authorities—to explain the whats, whys, and wherefores behind the new legislation. Indeed, […]

In this issue: We have two indisputable facts in this issue: The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act is, to be kind, muddled. And modern court decisions on federal pleading standards haven’t exactly been uniform. So what happens when the two collide, as in the recent Potash decision? Our authors have brilliantly highlighted the issues; but, […]

In this issue: The DOJ’s case against the AT&T/T-Mobile merger has the potential to be a landmark antitrust case.

In this issue: Cartel detection is a must for competition practitioners to understand. Our comprehensive issue, organized by guest editor Rosa Abrantes-Metz, starts by reviewing the features of international cartels detected over the last decades.

In this issue: Welcome to the first CPI Film Festival! Competition policy may be involved, intricate, and complicated, but it needs to be taught–not only to consumers but also to enterprises. And all competition authorities, established or developing, must consider education to be a primary directive. For our first film festival we’ve chosen to present […]

In this issue: For our summer finale, we present an antipasto of three mini symposia. The first includes papers inspired by the recent OECD conference, two on network neutrality and one on best practices-or maybe worst practices would be more appropriate. The second updates some of our issues from previous months, including papers on credit […]

In this issue: The U.S. Supreme Court took a hard look at class actions earlier this year in a decision on Wal-Mart v. Dukes. Our five papers not only represent opinions from both sides of the decision, but present different outlooks on how the outcome may—or may not—impact further antitrust class actions. Wal-Mart v. Dukes: […]
