SUMMARY:Cartel Policy in Nordic Countries
DESCRIPTION:Enforcement of laws prohibiting cartels is a fundamental part of antitrust policy in most countries. This has also been\nthe case in the Nordic countries for several decades. Although the Nordic countries’ antitrust enforcement is\nharmonized with EU competition law\, the enforcement systems have until recently varied quite a lot from country to\ncountry in the Nordic region. \nIn this seminar we will discuss the design of better cartel policies and\, in particular\, how various elements\ncomplement each other to lead to more effective policies. Beginning with a general discussion of cartel policy design\,\nwe will then explain and discuss the legal enforcement systems in the four largest Nordic countries of Norway\,\nDenmark\, Finland\, and Sweden\, emphasizing similarities\, but even more so how they differ. Next\, the legal cartels\nthat existed before 2000 will be contrasted with the illegal cartels that have been detected by competition\nauthorities during the last two decades. We will also review and discuss recent changes in Swedish cartel policy.\nFinally\, recent challenges for cartel enforcement will be discussed with a focus on the rise in the role of algorithms. \nDETAILED PROGRAM \nSpeakers presentations: \nJoseph Harrington\, Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at The Wharton School\, University of\nPennsylvania\, Design of optimal cartel policy \nIngrid M. H. Barlund\, Associate professor of Law\, University of Bergen\, Cartel enforcement within the Nordic countries – shared experiences and new insights \nFrode Steen\,Professor of Economics at Department of Economics\, Norwegian School of Economics\, Legal Cartels in Nordic Countries Before 2000 \nLars Sørgard\, Professor of Economics at Department of Economics\, Norwegian School of Economics\, Illegal cartels in Nordic countries after 2000 \nLars Henriksson\, Professor of Law\, Stockholm School of Economics\, Cartel enforcement in Sweden – recent experiences \n
