Economists at the Federal Trade Commission pursue the agency??s competition and consumer protection missions. In this year??s essay, in antitrust, we discuss two recent mergers that involved Rx drugs: First, we describe key elements of the inquiry into the Express Scripts/Medco transaction in the pharmacy benefit management industry. Next, we analyze a merger that involved drugs that are used to treat patent ductus arteriosus: a condition that affects premature babies. On the consumer protection side, we discuss a pricing strategy??drip pricing??that involves the release of price information about a multi-part product over time as the consumer goes through the purchase process. 相似文献

Economists at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) pursue the agency’s competition and consumer protection missions. In this
year’s essay, in antitrust, we discuss the new Merger Guidelines, three exclusion cases, and R&D issues in the Thoratec/HeartWare
merger and the Google/AdMob merger. In consumer protection, we discuss the FTC’s new rule on debt settlement, our efforts
to improve disclosures, and our recent work on appliance energy disclosures. 相似文献

Transaction cost economics (TCE) has been criticized for presenting an undersocialized view of human nature, for confusing cause and effect, and for being ad hoc. This article attempts to rebut the last charge by reviewing a large body of empirical evidence on contracting and economic organization. Specifically, we maintain that enough empirical work has been carried out to shift the burden of persuasion to TCE's skeptics. As we show, the empirical evidence lines up remarkably well with the logic of organization described by TCE. After a conceptual and methodological review, we survey a range of studies on vertical integration (including forward integration into marketing and distribution), complex contracts and hybrid modes of organization, transfer pricing, and multinational corporations. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of TCE for business organization.This paper draws on material in Shelanski and Klein, 1995. 相似文献
