“Antitrust Problems: Has Competition Law Failed?”
活动信息
Prevalent today is a view that society has been failed by lax antitrust enforcement. Antitrust is thus facing a crisis of credibility. There are however two separate sources of discontent — the first relates to the exercise of market power, while the second concerns the negative consequences of the competitive process. Market power is controlled to promote low prices, diverse options, innovation, and efficiency. Even in the absence of market power however, markets may operate in ways that are not conducive to social welfare, for example, prompting consumption of unhealthy products or the use of production methods that are environmentally or socially damaging. Examining the challenges antitrust regimes face in resolving 21st-century problems, Professor Okeoghene Odudu of the University of Cambridge will discuss the disappointment and discontent with antitrust and question whether antitrust is failing.
Okeoghene Odudu is Professor of Competition Law in the Faculty of Law and co-Director of the Centre for European Legal Studies at the University of Cambridge, where he teaches Competition Law and EU law. He is an editor of the Journal of Competition Law and Economics and the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies and serves on the editorial boards of the Antitrust Law journal; the European Competition Journal, and Concurrences. Author of The Boundaries of EC Competition Law (Oxford: OUP 2006), his numerous articles study fundamental aspects of competition law. He holds a DPhil from Oxford, awarded for research on aspects of Article 101 TFEU, which was supervised by Professor Paul Craig and examined by Professors Stephen Weatherill and Richard Whish. During his time as a doctoral student he was awarded a Scholarship by the Kennedy Memorial Trust, spending a year at the European Law Research Center at Harvard Law School. He is a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
