Book Description
The paper presents a theory of the anti-competitive effects of debt finance based on the interaction between capital structure, managerial incentives, and firms' ability to sustain collusive agreements. It shows that shareholders' commitments that reduce conflicts with debtholders - such as hiring managers with valuable reputations or quot;conservativequot; incentives - besides reducing the agency costs of debt finance also greatly facilitate tacit collusion in product markets. Concentrated or collusive credit markets, interlinked banking groups, or simply large banks can ensure the credibility of such commitments (renegotiation-proofness), thereby quot;exportingquot; collusion through leverage in otherwise competitive downstream product markets. The results appear relevant to the debate on the relative efficiency of quot;Anglo-Saxonquot; vs. quot;Continental-Japanesequot; financial practices. Implications for competition policy in the credit market and the regulation of the banking industry are discussed.

Criminalization of Competition Law Enforcement
Author: K. J. Cseres
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 184720290X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This timely book brings together contributions from prominent scholars and practitioners to the ongoing debate on the criminalization of competition law enforcement. Recognizing that existing remedies and sanctions may be insufficient to deter breaches of competition law, several EU Member States have followed the US example and introduced pecuniary penalties for executives, professional disqualification orders, and even jail sentences. Addressing issues such as unsolved legal puzzles, standard of proof, leniency programs and internal cartel stability, this book is a marker for future policy debate. With perspectives from an international cast of contributors, Criminalization of Competition Law Enforcement will be of great interest to academics and policy makers as well as students and practitioners in law.

The Interaction Between Competition Law and Corporate Governance
Author: Florence Thépot
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108526365
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Florence Thépot provides the first systematic account of the interaction between competition law and corporate governance. She challenges the 'black box' conception of the firm- or 'undertaking' - in competition law, as applied to increasingly complex corporate relations. The book opens the 'black box' of the firm to understand the internal drivers of collusive behaviour, and proposes a unified approach to cartel enforcement, based on the agency theory. It explores key issues including corporate compliance programmes, the attribution of liability in corporate groups, and structural links between competitors, and should be read by anyone interested in how the evolution of the corporate landscape impacts competition law.
