Antitrust economics (or competition economics) has truly been a vibrant field of research over the past decades ... The handbook by Blair and Sokol serves as a distinct proof of this progress in knowledge. Moreover, it nicely illustrates the close collaboration between law and economics.

Dr Arndt Christiansen, Economist, Bundeskartellamt (Economic Competition Law Review, 2016)

this is a highly recommended book, which will be of great value to anyone interested in the economic theories underpinning the application of competition law.

Ioannis Apostolakis, European Competition Law Review

More than any other area of regulation, antitrust economics shapes law and policy in the United States, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. In a number of different areas of antitrust, advances in theory and empirical work have caused a fundamental reevaluation and shift of some of the assumptions behind antitrust policy. This reevaluation has profound implications for the future of the field. The Oxford Handbook of International Antitrust Economics has collected chapters from many of the leading figures in antitrust. In doing so, this two volume Handbook provides an important reference guide for scholars, teachers, and practitioners. However, it is more than a merely reference guide. Rather, it has a number of different goals. First, it takes stock of the current state of scholarship across a number of different antitrust topics. In doing so, it relies primarily upon the economics scholarship. In some situations, though, there is also coverage of legal scholarship, case law developments, and legal policies. The second goal of the Handbook is to provide some ideas about future directions of antitrust scholarship and policy. Antitrust economics has evolved over the last 60 years. It has both shaped policy and been shaped by policy. The Oxford Handbook of International Antitrust Economics will serve as a policy and research guide of next steps to consider when shaping the future of the field of antitrust.
