Interested in Article 102 antitrust investigations? My paper analysing the European Commission’s paractice of abandoning formal investigations without any decision is out in @JECLAP. See below. Happy reading! @GWUCIL
Over 20% of DG COMP’s formal Article 102 cases end without a decision—half for lack of evidence, half via alternative resolutions. Senior Fellow @MathewHeim calls for more transparency to boost legal certainty & policy impact in a new published paper: tinyurl.com/25zhu7j7

What is the collective noun for 3000 antitrust lawyers and economists in one room?@abaantitrust
It’s spring time in DC, which means blossoming cherry trees and 4000 antitrusters flocking into town for the @abaantitrust Spring meeting. It’s day one and it doesn’t disappoint! Great to catch up with so many friends from around the world
