Conclusion and Outlook

Bibliography

Index
.265
Competition policies have long been based on a
scholarly tradition focused on static models and static
analysis of industrial organisation. However, recent
developments in industrial organisation literature have
led to significant advances, moving beyond traditional
static models and a preoccupation with price
competition, to consider the organisation of industries
in a dynamic context. This is especially important
in the field of information and communication
technology (ICT) network industries where competition
centres on network effects, innovation and intellectual
property rights, and where the key driver of consumer
benefit is technological progress. Consequently, when
an antitrust intervention is contemplated, a number of
considerations that arise out of the specific nature of
the ICT sector have to be taken into account to ensure
improved consumer welfare. This book considers the
adequacy of existing
EU
competition policy in the
area of the ICT industries in the light of the findings
of modern economic theory. Particular attention is
given to the implications of these dynamic markets
for the competitive assessment and treatment of the
most common competitive harms in this area, such
as non-price predatory practices, tying and bundling,
co-operative standard setting, platform joint ventures
and co-operative RftD. |
