The Antitrust Hotch Potch

Antitrust Encyclopedia

Together with Elise Provost, a former colleague of Howrey LLP and now a Phd student at the Universities of Liege and Paris I, I have redrafted the sections of the antitrust encyclopedia on French and Belgian institutions. For those of you who do not know it yet, the Antitrust Encyclopedia comprehensively describes the various competition laws of the EU Member States. This website  is coordinated by Ioannis Kokkoris (OFT and UCL).

New GCLC Working Paper - Article 81 EC and Strategic Behavior

I have a new paper in the GCLC working paper series (in French), which deals with the question of how firms may seek to instrumentalize Article 81 EC in order to gain a competitive - strategic - advantage. This paper was presented at a conference organized by Antoine Masson from the University of Luxembourg in December 2008.

On-Line Casebook

Professor Spencer Weber Waller has recently posted the table of contents on SSRN of an on-line case book on international antitrust and a link to the full contents.  It deals mostly with jurisdiction,  procedure, trade and antitrust, and harmonization rather than the substance of the law.  See here for the link.

A most welcome initiative.

A little self-promotion, for an article which was a great fun writing.
