Antitrust & Competition Policy

Innovation and dynamic improvement—new products, new processes, and new ideas—drive growth in productivity. Antitrust policy, however, remains focused on static goals. While the need for a vigorous antitrust policy is greater than ever, antitrust authorities must use new approaches to evaluating the health of competition and the threat to competition posed by mergers and other corporate practices.

    Competition & Antitrust: Towards a Productivity-Based Approach to Evaluating Mergers & Joint Ventures

    by Michael E. Porter

This article seeks to contribute thinking on how the intellectual foundations of antitrust might be updated, based on a large body of theoretical and empirical research on company strategy, competition, and economic development. The aim is to outline a new direction for antitrust that can be incorporated into government policy and legal practice and pursued in litigation and legislation, both in the United States and internationally.
