posted some nominations for best Antitrust Article from a variety of antitrust experts. I was supposed to include my nomination for that list but missed the deadline. Turns out my draft list doesn’t have much overlap with the articles nominated over there, so I figured I’d share my whole list here with all of the normal caveats (i.e., I’m sure I’ve forgotten some very important articles!). Alas, I’ve been giving some thought to the best, most influential, most enjoyable, or most important antitrust articles and books (and in one case, press article) over the past year and came up with the following list of my favorites:
- Louis Kaplow, An Economic Approach to Price Fixing, 77 Antitrust Law Journal, 343 (2011)
- Daniel Crane, The Institutional Structure of Antitrust Enforcement (Oxford University Press 2011) (I reviewed Crane’s book here)
- Michael Baye & Joshua D. Wright, Is Antitrust to Complicated for Generalist Judges? The Impact of Economic Complexity and Judicial Training on Appeals, 50 J. L. & Econ. 1 (2011) (SSRN version available here; reviewed by John Woodbury in the Antitrust Source here)
- Geoffrey A. Manne & Joshua D. Wright, Competition Policy and Patent Law Under Uncertainty: Regulating Innovation (Cambridge University Press 2011)
- James Keyte & Kenneth B. Schwartz, Tally -Ho!: UPP and the 2010 Horizontal Merger Guidelines, 77(2) Antitrust Law Journal 587 (2011)
- Joseph Farrell, Fox or Dangerous Hedgehog? A Reply to Keyte and Schwartz, 77(2) Antitrust Law Journal, 661 (2011)
- Keith N. Hylton, Brown Shoe Versus the Horizontal Merger Guidelines, 39 Review of Industrial Organization 95 (2011)
