Abstract

Competition policy in Canada and elsewhere has changed remarkably over the last 50 yearsin large measure due to advances in economics. In this article, we trace the impact of developments in industrial organization on the three central areas of competition policy: cartels, single firm conduct and mergers. We focus on Canadian competition policy but draw comparisons with developments in the United States and Europe.
