A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Public and Private Antitrust Enforcement

Abstract

dc:description

Past empirical approaches to the study of public antitrust agencies' case selection theorized that the agencies should rationally bring more cases when the benefits of antitrust cases, reductions in excess profits, are high. However, these studies ignore the role of private enforcement. Other theoretical studies have considered both public and private antitrust enforcement, but they have used a comparative approach that implicitly assumes that only one mode of enforcement is operating at a time.
