1 Antitrust Economics Law 237 Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University Fall 2018, Wednesdays 6 7:50 PM Professor John M. Yun, Hazel Hall-Room 450F jyun9@gmu.edu (703) Welcome to Antitrust Economics: The goal of the course is to teach the underlying economic foundations that drive antitrust analyses at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice, Antitrust Division. We will assess key legal cases and seek an understanding as to how economics influences agency and court decisions. Broadly, each class will introduce core economic concepts and will illustrate those concepts with specific cases. Students are expected to come to class prepared and ready to discuss the assigned readings. Office Hours: Thursdays 2-4 PM & by appointment. I am also available via . Text: John Kwoka and Larry White (eds.), The Antitrust Revolution (6 th edition). (There is a 7 th edition, but the 6 th edition is the one to get.) Supplemental readings will be made available on TWEN. Course Requirements and Grading: Written Assignments: There will be two homework assignments. Each assignment is worth 10 percent of your overall grade for a total of 20 percent. All assignments must be submitted in PDF via TWEN before midnight on the due date. Late submissions will receive zero credit. Class Participation: Your grade is subject to a discretionary class participation adjustment of 1/3 rd of a grade in either direction. Final Exam: The final exam will be administered on Wednesday, December 6 PM (there is no make-up exam) and will count for 80 percent of your grade. The final exam is open book & notes. It will consist of short answer questions and multiple-choice. Tentative Syllabus: We may deviate from the tentative syllabus for reasons including current events, new cases, scheduling, et cetera. Please make sure you are signed up to receive updates via TWEN. Intellectual Property: I own all course content that is created (e.g., slides), regardless of format (electronic, print, audio, video). You are forbidden to use them with, or distribute them to, anyone other than your classmates in this course. 1
