Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Course description:
• This course is for master students and covers selected topics in competition law and economics. We discuss economic and legal methods applied in antitrust cases in respect to market definition, assessment of market power, evaluation of mergers and calculation of cartel damages.
• Students will present related competition cases and write an exam. A particular emphasis is put on the interplay of economics and legal analysis and the discussion and presentation of cases. By presenting case studies, students will learn how to apply the legal and economic methods to real world situations.

Topics
• Market definition and assessment of market power
• Collusion and horizontal agreements
• Horizontal mergers
• Vertical restraints and vertical mergers
• Predation, monopolization and other abusive practices

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Grading
• Students are required to do one (group) presentation of a case (35%), write an exam (35%), and participate actively in class (30%).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

• Attendance is compulsory for the course. Unexcused absence from the first session will automatically lead to deregistration in order to allow students on the waiting list to move up. If you are unable to attend the first session, you must notify me in advance via email in order to continue attending the course.
• Missing more than two 90-minute sessions in total will result in a negative grade. Excuses for absence are not required (with the exception of the first unit).
• For each of three grading components (group presentation, exam, class participation), students can receive between 0 and 100 points. The final number of points is the weighted sum of the three components rounded to one digit. To receive a positive grade, the final number of points has then to be at least 50.1. The grade is 1 (2, 3, 4 and 5), if the final number of points is 87.6-100 (75.1-87.5, 62.6-75, 50.1-62.5 and 0-50).
