＃Advanced Topics in Antitrust and Competition Law
This course covers advanced concepts in antitrust law and competition policy, focusing in particular on how Internet platforms (such as Amazon and Uber) challenge existing doctrines such as monopolization, abuse of dominance, and market definition. The course revolves around American and European Union laws, which have struggled to balance innovation against competition and consumer welfare under their old paradigms. To round out its analyses, this course will introduce basic economic theories such as leveraging, foreclosure, and network effects to show how economic realities can influence the evolution of legal doctrine. 

課程目標
 ＃Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:
－Explain market power and discern the exercise of market power in various settings
－Balance anticompetitive conduct and procompetitive justifications
－Distinguish collusion from exclusion while explaining their relation to one another
－Apply core economic concepts to the analysis of antitrust violations

Regular and punctual attendance is required. If you expect to be late or miss a class due to an emergency, please e-mail me ahead of time. All students are expected to read the assigned materials carefully prior to class and be prepared to discuss the materials in great detail during class. If you will not be prepared for class due to an emergency, please e-mail me ahead of time. Unpreparedness and/or unexcused absences may affect your grade adversely.

＃Grading
The grade for this course will be determined as follows:
－Class participation: 25%
－Written response to one assigned problem: 25% (Problems will be assigned as part of the readings for the class, as noted below in the syllabus. To satisfy this grading criterion, you should pick one of the assigned problems, write up an answer to the problem that is between 1 and 5 pages in length, and e-mail me your answer prior to the class when we are scheduled to discuss the problem. For instance, if you choose to write a response to Problem 2-1, which is scheduled for March 18, you must e-mail me your answer prior to 17:30 on March 18.)
－Final exam: 50% (The final exam will be in essay format. It will be held from 19:00 to 20:00 on Friday, March 27, our last day of class. The exam is open-book, so you may bring your course packet and notes, as well as a calculator and a dictionary.)
