This
book provides a comprehensive overview of the economic and competition
policy issues that buyer power creates. Drawing on economic analysis and
cases from around the world, it explains why conventional seller side
standards and analyses do not provide an adequate framework for
responding to the problems that buyer power can create. Based on
evidence that abuse of buyer power is a serious problem for the
competitive process, the book evaluates the potential for competition
law to deal directly with the problems of abuse either through
conventional competition law or special rules aimed at abusive conduct.
The author also examines controls over buying groups and mergers as
potentially more useful responses to risks created by undue buyer power.
