The Shaky Foundations of Competition Law

Some of you may be interested in my latest publication in the New Zealand Law Journal (Download NZLJ_CompetitionLaw_Sautet.pdf ). It’s a concise view of competition law and its limits, and it is especially written in the context of the New Zealand Commerce Act. The act regulates competition down under and is one of the best pieces of competition law ever written, but it still comes short of being useful to “regulate” markets in my view. There is nothing in the paper that Austrian economists don’t know about (many have written on the subject since Hayek’s seminal work in the 1930s), but it presents a concise view of what policy makers wanting to regulate competition should keep in mind.

I like your article. Since I do not have access to the archives of the particular journal it is published in however, I cannot find the citation information I need if I were to make a reference to it. Could you provide such information?
