Abstract

This chapter sets out basic economic concepts and tools used in competition law. This starts with supply and demand, which provide a surprising amount of insight into how competition works. It then turns to the theory of oligopoly, which lies at the heart of mergers, cartels, and exclusionary conduct, and is based on game theory. Next it discusses network effects, which matter for online platform markets, and behavioural economics, which builds on ideas from psychology to explain economic decision-making by consumers, in particular in the presence of consumer biases. Finally, the toolkit covers regression analysis, used for measuring the effects of a cartel or a merger.

Keywords: Cartels, Exclusionary abuse, Market power, Oligopoly, Merger control, State and competition law
