The course is designed to provide students with the requisite economics concepts needed to enable them to investigate and analyse competition cases in the real world. Students will learn the necessary economic tools to analyse why certain conduct engaged by firms might be harmful to the competitive process. As competition policy is as much about economics as about law, the students would also learn about the basic legal framework governing the operation of competition law enforcement as well as the relevant competition guidelines issued by competition agencies around the globe to help industries to understand better the approach taken by them in their enforcement work. Through this course, students are expected to be able to apply their knowledge of economics grounded in a solid understanding of the relevant legal context in handling complex real world competition cases.
