ECON 361 Economics of Antitrust & Regulation
Course outline.
Text: Industrial
Organization in Context, lecture notes distributed
in class.
This
course will examine the economics of United States antitrust
policy and European Union competition policy.
There
will be one within-term exam. It will account for 34% of
the course grade. The final exam (which will be cumulative)
will account for 40% of the course grade.
The
remaining 26 per cent of the course grade will be determined
by your grade – pass or fail – on short summaries of
antitrust and competition policy decisions, to be handed in
on the dates indicated below. For the purpose of computing
the course grade, a “`pass’’ on a case summary will be
considered an A and a “fail” on a case summary will be
considered an F. The expected nature of the summaries is
discussed on the course outline.
