The contributors have all played  major roles in Australian and New Zealand antitrust actions, either as  expert economic witnesses, as antitrust enforcers, as judges or as  quasi-judicial administrators. No other publication presents such  in-depth economic analysis of the Act and the cases decided under it  in its first two decades of its operation. \u003cbr\u003e  As well as an introductory paper, this collection includes a foreword  by the Hon. George Gear, Assistant Treasurer of the Australian  Government and Minister responsible for the administration of the Act,  plus two broad analytical overviews of the last two decades of  Australian antitrust actions by two economists who have continually  been at the heart of antitrust proceedings. In addition, papers are  provided which give a judicial view of the Act and economic analysis,  which compare the Act with its New Zealand counterpart. Other  contributions look in detail at those sections of the Act which cover  mergers, misuse of market power, price-fixing and vertical practices.  The book shows that the Act has had a major impact on Australian  market behavior. Judges, lawyers and economists between them have  produced a truly Australian approach to antitrust, which has reflected  overseas trends in both law and economics, as well as developed a  unique Australian flavor. \u003cbr\u003e  The book will be of interest to academic and practicing lawyers and  economists, judges and corporate executives. It will be essential  reading for Australian students in undergraduate courses in antitrust  law, business regulation, antitrust economics and industrial  organization. It provides by far the most comprehensive economic  evaluation of Australian antitrust yet published and so will be the  definitive source of information on this topic for non-Australians  interestedin comparative antitrust legislation and enforcement  issues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792332282\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8324-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 238\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398552940684,"sku":"9780792332282","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792332282.jpg?v=1771512027","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792332282","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
