The literature on the law and economics of vertical integration and control is vast and scattered. In this monograph, we attempt to present a comprehensive and coherent survey of this literature. We try to make corrections where necessary and expand the analysis where appropriate. As we develop the economic case for vertical integration in response to varied circumstances, we also examine contractual alternatives. In each instance, we try to determine the extent to which the contractual alternatives are economically equivalent to ownership integration. In the second part of the monograph, we turn our attention to public policy. Although vertical integration and control can take many forms, these alternative forms provide, in many situations, economically equivalent results.

Law and Economics of Vertical Integration and Control

The second edition of Antitrust Economics provides a thorough treatment of the economic theory that both motivates (and to varying degrees) guides the design and enforcement of the antitrust laws of the United States. Citing relevant legislation and landmark court cases, the text offers a comprehensive analysis of both horizontal and vertical antitrust issues and uses economic theory to evaluate antitrust policy throughout. The clear, accessible prose in Antitrust Economics explains the theory/policy cycle and provides thorough analysis of market structure and business conduct as they relate to antitrust policy. The text moves fluidly from theory to real world court cases to public policy, making it ideal for upper-level economics majors or law school courses in antitrust law.

This unique text explains the relevancy of economics by applying theory to real-world business situations, showing students how to use microeconomics to understand and make decisions in the business world. Basic theory is solidly developed and illustrated with numerical problems, graphs, tables, and boxed references within each chapter. Four hundred end-of-chapter problems help develop analytical skills and show students how to think like economists and analyze economic/business problems. Topics include supply and demand analysis in output and input markets; applications of the monopoly model; several discusssions of competitive pressures and pricing; and how to make decisions under uncertainty or when information is incomplete.

Intellectual Property: Economic and Legal Dimensions of Rights and Remedies

This book addresses several aspects of the law and economics of intellectual property rights (IPRs) that have been underanalyzed in the existing literature. The authors demonstrate that the core assumption of IPR regimes--that IPRs maximize certain social benefits over social costs by providing a necessary inducement for the production and distribution of intellectual products--has several important implications for the optimal design of remedies, the standard of care, and the law of standing and joinder.

Monopsony in Law and Economics

Most readers are familiar with the concept of a monopoly. A monopolist is the only seller of a good or service for which there are not good substitutes. Economists and policy makers are concerned about monopolies because they lead to higher prices and lower output. The topic of this book is monopsony, the economic condition in which there is one buyer of a good or service. It is a common misunderstanding that if monopolists raise prices, then monopsonists must lower them. It is true that a monopsonist may force sellers to sell to them at lower prices, but this does not mean consumers are better off as a result. This book explains why monopsonists can be harmful and the way law has developed to respond to these harms.

This book describes in much detail both how and why franchising works. It also analyses the economic tensions that contribute to conflict in the franchisor-frnachisee relationship. The treatment includes a great deal of empirical evidence on franchising, its importance in various segments of the economy, the terms of franchise contracts, and what we know about how all these have evolved over time, especially in the U.S. market. A good many myths are dispelled in the process. The economic analysis of the franchisor-franchisee relationship begins with the observation that for franchisors, franchising is a contractual alternative to vertical integration. Subsequently, the tensions that arise between a franchisor and its franchisees, who in fact are owners of independent businesses, are examined in turn. In particular the authors discuss issues related to product quality control, tying arrangements, pricing, location and territories, advertising, and termination and renewals.
