Information on last year’s conference.
In 2013, the first day of the conference is devoted to policy shifts in the law on vertical restraints of competition and underlying economic insights. The list of speakers and panelists include Albrecht Bach, Roman Inderst, Alison Jones, Pierre Larouche, Giorgio Monti, Jorge Padilla, Patrick Rey, and Thibaud Vergé. The second day covers original research papers from all fields of competition law and economics, broadly defined. It includes papers on business strategy related to competition, on the intersection between competition and innovation, and on regulated industries. Theoretical, empirical as well as case-oriented papers are welcome. We especially encourage the submission of papers by lawyers focusing on EU competition and/or comparative competition law. The second day will also include invited talks by Luis Cabral and Volker Nocke.
