Twelve Fallacies of the “Neo-Antitrust” Movement
TWELVE FALLACIES OF THE “NEO-ANTITRUST” MOVEMENT Seth B. Sacher John M. Yun Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University George Mason University Law & Economics Research Paper Series 19-12 This paper is available on the Social Science Research Network at ssrn.com/abstract=3369013 TWELVE FALLACIES OF THE “NEO-ANTITRUST” MOVEMENT Seth B. Sachera and John M. Yunb Antonin Scalia Law School George Mason University May 1, 2019 Abstract Antitrust enforcement is back in the spotlight with advocates from both the political left and the populist political right demanding fundamental competition policy changes. While there are differences among those calling for such changes, several common beliefs generally unite them. This includes a contention that the writings and interpretations of Robert Bork and the Chicago School of economics have led antitrust astray in a manner fundamentally inconsistent with the original intent of the Sherman Act. Further, they are united by a belief that recent empirical, economic studies indicate the economy is becoming overly concentrated, that market power has been increasing dramatically, that performance in many, if not most, markets has been deficient, and that too much profit is going to too few firms. In this article, we identify and detail twelve fallacies of what we call the “neo-antitrust movement” and their associated claims. At the heart of these fallacies is a fundamental misunderstanding of economics and the consumer welfare standard that has been at the heart of competition policy since at least the 1960s. Additionally, there is a heavy reliance on studies that, upon closer scrutiny, do not support the positions of those who cite them. -

Emerging Challenges to US Entertainment Supremacy in the Movie Business
Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, 2 (2007), 167-190 1646-5954/ERC123483/2007 167 “Crouching Tigers”: Emerging Challenges to U.S. Entertainment Supremacy in the Movie Business Jonathan Taplin, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Southern California, U.S.A. Abstract This manuscript analyzes the dynamic change that globalization is bringing to the international knowledge society and the businesses related to this economic sector. Over the past twenty years the American economy has made its final transition from the industrial age to the information age, and if one looks at the export sector it shows that large media, software and pharmaceutical firms dominate the American export economy. While conventional wisdom assumes that the economies of scale that benefit classic manufacturers will also enhance the competitive position of firms that deal in the more intangible outputs of ideas, creativity and soft power, the author of this article argues that there are several countervailing forces that might slow the dominance of American firms in the world knowledge economy. The first is the rise of potent knowledge economies in Asia, Russia and Europe. The second relates to the devolutionary force of Internet Protocol technologies that provide new avenues of distribution for knowledge exports. Focusing on the Movie Business, the author examines to what extent these forces slow one of the major areas of American export success at a time of great global economic imbalances and increasing U.S. internal and external deficits, and also shows why these countervailing factors must be a source of great concern to policy makers. Introduction This paper will analyze the dynamic change that globalization is bringing to the International Knowledge Society and the businesses related to that economic sector. -

But the stakes go far beyond any one artist or journalist: as a shrinking group of companies become the source of news and entertainment for more and more Americans, their status as cultural arbiters—and their impact on democracy—continues to grow.

Antitrust and Deregulation Abstract
HOWARD SHELANSKI Antitrust and Deregulation abstract. Because regulation works alongside antitrust law to govern market structure and economic conduct in the United States, deregulatory cycles can create gaps in competition enforce- ment. Antitrust is sometimes portrayed as just another form of government intervention that a deregulatory administration should also diminish. This Feature argues that policy makers should resist that political logic. Instead, antitrust should become stronger as regulation becomes weaker. Antitrust as a countercyclical force to deregulation will most directly help to protect consumers from enforcement gaps that result as competition-related rules recede. But antitrust enforcement in deregulating markets can also help to demonstrate where antitrust can govern markets more effectively and efficiently than regulation; it canovide pr the federal courts with an opportunity to clarify recent Supreme Court decisions on the boundary between antitrust and regulation; and it can better inform ongoing policy debates about the effectiveness of antitrust by providing a more accurate view of what antitrust enforcement can accomplish with its existing legal and analytic framework. Not only is each of these benefits of countercyclical antitrust enforcement important in its own right, but together they can lead to better policy choices between antitrust and regula- tory solutions as political cycles change over time. author.
