LAW 503 Economics of Competition

Competition law regulates the economic activities; but the operation of competition law has important differences from what is traditionally called legal regulation or regulation. The regulation has a nature peculiar to industry. Direct and regular determination of prices is related with product standards or barriers to entry to - exit from the market. Competition law, on the other hand, has application that covers the whole economy. It focuses on certain fundamental rules that aim good and efficient solutions for the society by enabling competitive interaction among firms. Interventions of authorities and proceedings, which may come into question in case of violation of these fundamental competition rules, are exceptional in nature. The main goal of this course is to introduce the theoretical approaches and basic techniques of economic analysis to graduate students in Turkey, where subjects of competition law and policy have developed parallel to the progressions in EU. The course language is English. Credit units: 3 ECTS Credit units: 6.
