A few weeks ago, Professor Joseph Harrington of the University of Pennsylvania, whose work on cartel economics I first mentioned in another Cartel Capers post, kindly reached out and invited me to make a presentation on cartel issues (discussed here) at the 2016 CRESSE conference on “Advances in the Analysis of Competition Policy and Regulation (here).” I unfortunately cannot participate for both personal and work-related reasons. But it occurred to me that the readers of Cartel Capers may be interested in learning about this and other exciting events at CRESSE this summer. In addition to the 3-day conference, CRESSE also offers 2-week 7-module summer school on competition policy and regulation (here). These modules cover a wide range of antitrust economics, including discussions of industry economics and game theory, market dominance, cartels, mergers, IP, and competition policy and regulation. The detailed schedule can be found here.

For lawyers who work in antitrust and want to learn more about relevant economics and how it can be applied in practice, CRESSE also offers a course specifically for them. The 3rd Lawyers Course on “The Role of Economics in Competition Law and Practice” will take place from Friday 1st July to Monday 4th July, 2016. The detailed schedule and the impressive lineup of the faculty can be found here.

I surely will miss this opportunity.
