New frontiers of antitrust 2011

Thèse proceedings contain the papers presented at the annual Concurrences Journal conference held on 11 February 2011 at the national Parliament in Paris. After a key note paper from Commissionner Joaquin Almunia on Antitrust enforcement in the EU in 2011, the papers adress four issues :

- Patent ambush in the US and the EU : How wide is the gap ?

- Quantifying damages in civil proceedings : Can economists and should competition authorities help ?

- Consumers associations in competition proceedings : Why so little engagement ?

- Procedural fairness : How much remains to be done ?
