About this publication
While the form-based approach was once considered to be fundamental to competition analysis, this approach has since lost its appeal. The form-based approach has been replaced worldwide with the effects-based approach, which requires a consideration and analysis of the economic  effects of firm behaviour. This necessitates an integration of economic theory into competition policy and regulation for a better understanding of competition law.
This text attempts to do precisely that.
 
Key Features of this publication;
Analyses the effects-based approach
Integrates economic theory into competition policy
