Description:
This 9 hour course provides an introduction to topics in vertical restraints: theories to generate anti and pro-competitive effects, Resale-Price Maintenance (RPM), Exclusive Dealing, vertical ‘most favoured nation’ clauses (MFNs). These topics have become a central focus of discussions on competition policy towards and regulatory intervention in the internet economy. The course presents the relevant theoretical framework, but is closely anchored in actual market behaviour and is geared towards an applied audience. The course applies the conceptual framework developed to an assessment of the most important internet cases.
