SUMMARY:[event] Substance Over Slogans: Strengthening The Foundations of Antitrust
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nABOUT:\nOur aim for this conference is to look past the headlines and politicized arguments that have defined the last several years of competition-policy discourse to examine the current academic foundations of antitrust and what they say about contemporary competition policy. \nThe competition-policy landscape is shifting almost as rapidly as the industries it seeks to regulate. Over the past few years\, a new trend has seemingly taken hold of the field: Scholars and enforcers increasingly reject the economically grounded learnings of decades of legal analysis\, enforcement experience\, and applied industrial organization research in favor of untested policy initiatives reflecting mostly political preferences\, not rigorous scholarship. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our Paris conference will discuss the state of the art of economic and legal research\, and explore whether and where it may provide a rigorously supported basis for departing from antitrust’s traditional foundations. \nThe conference will bring together an unparalleled assembly of top academics\, influential policymakers\, and business experts to engage in a dynamic exploration of the assumptions that underpin contemporary competition enforcement. \nCONFIRMED SPEAKERS:\n\nPinar Akman (University of Leeds)\nBrian Albrecht (ICLE)\nGustavo Augusto (Administrative Council for Economics Defense)\nDirk Auer (ICLE)\nReiko Aoki (Japan Fair Trade Commission)\nDennis W.
