Not offered in 1995
3 hours per week * Clayton
Synopsis What do we mean by `competition,' by `misuse of market power?' What kinds of public benefits might be associated with such practices as merger, collusive agreements, exclusive dealing? These are some of the economic issues discussed in this seminar. The focus of the seminar is upon the operation of the Trade Practices Act but the issues selected for discussion are those posed by most systems of legislative control of monopolies and restrictive practices. The seminar discusses the legislation from the viewpoints of policy-maker, lawyer and management.
