New Op-ed: De-Economizing Antitrust Law Starts with Market Definition, published in The Sling
And a quick thank you to all Law and Power subscribers
Hi everyone,
The Sling, an outlet that specializes in progressive antitrust commentary, just published an op-ed I wrote based on my newly released working paper on market definition. The article is effectively a very shortened version of the paper I authored but written to make the concepts more accessible to a common reader rather than academics, lawyers, or lawmakers.
The article briefly summarizes the importance of defining markets in antitrust litigation, how the process originated, how the process got corrupted in 1982 with the introduction of complex econometric tests, and how federal enforcers can fix this issue by exclusively using the Supreme Court’s (still-controlling) methodology it developed in 1962.
The article can be read here.
I also want to say a quick thank you to everyone, including my most recent subscribers. There are now over 100 Law and Power subscribers. That may seem like a small number to most people, but it is astounding to me. I really appreciate the support and interest in my work. As always, feel free to email me at dhanley.usa[at]gmail.com if you have any questions, want to connect, have any writing ideas, or just want to say hello. All of you are amazing.
