This course is part of the 2023 Augsburg Summer Program.
The first part of the course deals with two main aspects of Antitrust Economics, namely with the Price Theory and with the Industrial Organization, as a basic knowledge of Antitrust Economics is necessary to understand Antitrust Law. After focusing on the U.S. Antitrust Law and the U.S. Merger Control Law, the course deals with EU Competition Law and with EU merger Control Law. Additionally, recent developments of U. S. and E.U. Antitrust Law are discussed. Also some cases on important topics of U.S. and EU Antitrust Law and Merger Control Law will be discussed in order to give the students the opportunity to find differences and similarities between the U.S. Law and the EU Law.
