USDDuring the 1990s, U.S. antitrust policy began to take greater account of economic theories that emphasize the critical role of innovation and change in the competitive process. Several high-profile antitrust cases have focused on dynamic innovation issues as much as or more than static economic efficiency. But does dynamic competition furnish a new rationale for activist antitrust, or a new reason for government to leave markets alone? In this volume, a dozen leading scholars with extensive antitrust experience explore this question in the context of the Microsoft case, merger policy, and intellectual property law.
- World-class contributors assess trade-offs between innovation and antitrust in large-scale industrial activity (D. Rubinfeld, F. Fisher, S. Liebowitz, S. Margolis, R. Langlois)
- Most up-to-date, comprehensive assessment of Microsoft case and related issues
- Introduction and conclusion set forth the issues in valuable theoretical and applied contexts
