Remedies in abuse of dominance cases : an economic assessment of the European Commission decisions

We have published in Concurrences (n°3-2012) with my colleague Patrice Bougette a paper on the remedies in monopolization cases.
Among other factors, one can assess the efficacy of a competition authority by its ability to choose and implement its remedies. Up until now, a dense economic literature has emerged on retrospective merger studies to measure the efficacy of merger control. Yet, little attention has been given to remedies in the other major pillar of competition policy, i.e. abuses of dominant position. In this paper, we try to fill the gap by first highlighting  what is at stake and second analyse the most emblematic cases. We focus on the European Commission, while U.S. cases serve us as benchmark.
This paper, published in French,  titled "What Remedies for Abuses of Dominant Positions? An Economic Analysis of the EC's Decisions" is available on the Concurrences website.
