Buyer Power in EU Competition Law

This is mostly an overlooked topic, albeit very important. Market power is at no time an unilateral exercise of the companies and even the stronger corporations need to bow in front of the consumers.

Buyer Power in EU Competition Law – AVAILABLE NOW

Winner of the 2017 Concurrences PhD Award, this thesis presents a comprehensive and cross-sectional discussion of buyer power to determine the legal regulation of buyer conducts under EU competition law. It focuses on four main research areas: understanding buyer power; analysing the legal treatment given to the exertion of anticompetitive buyer power under EU competition law; exploring theories of harm applicable to buyer power abuse, and ascertaining the welfare standard employed for buyer power cases.

Albert Sánchez Graells, Reader in Economic Law at the University of Bristol Law School, is the author of the foreword.

This is an essential guide for lawyers, economists, in-house counsels, academics, and government officials interested in understanding buyer power in an in-depth manner.

 The book is available, in print and e-book versions, at the Concurrences website and on Amazon.
