AAI’s multidisciplinary invitational symposium will focus on new thinking surrounding buying power. How should buying power be identified and characterized? Under what circumstances should this power be restrained by antitrust intervention? Does the antitrust community need to re-think its current reluctance to question what happens in vertical relationships? We will hear presentations from eminent legal, economic, and marketing experts who will be followed by a two-hour facilitated discussion. The papers were published by The Antitrust Bulletin for the fourth consecutive year.
