The Harvard School Sample Clauses

The Harvard School. Overview. A second important model of competition theory is that developed by a group of theorists such as Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxx Xxxx of Harvard University, which has since become known as the “Harvard School”. This School emphasises the importance of the attributes of markets in competition analysis: in particular, the causal links between market structure, market conduct or behaviour, and market results or performance (the “Structure-Conduct-Performance” or “SCP” analysis). SCP analysis was originally central to Industrial Organisation (IO) theory, though its importance has diminished in modern IO theory, which tends to focus on “new industrial organization” ideas based on developing industry-specific models of firm behaviour.34 In essence, the theory holds that the structure of a market has a major influence on market actors’ conduct on that market, and ultimately on the performance of that market. As a result, the competitive inquiry is centred on market structure, focusing on questions such as: • What are the economic characteristics of the product? Is it a consumer or producer good, and is it differentiated or standardised? • How concentrated is the market? How easy it is to enter the market? High market concentration and barriers to entry are viewed as damaging under the Harvard School approach. In this respect, Harvard School theory resembles ordoliberal competition theory. • What are the conditions of demand? How many buyers are there in the market and how well do buyers know the product’s characteristics? • What are the distribution channels for the product? The goal of antitrust policy was not to achieve the unattainable state of “perfect” competition, but rather to attain a level of “workable” competition, a standard based on compliance with a range of criteria formulated to judge whether an industry is competitive.35 Moreover, in a similar way to ordoliberalism, antitrust policy was viewed as an integral part of general economic policy strategy, meaning that it could be used as an instrument in achieving broader societal goals.36 Thus, non-economic goals were included within the legitimate goals of antitrust policy.37 Market performance should be evaluated on a number of different levels: how resources are allocated among different market actors; stability of employment; and - importantly, and in contrast to Chicago School theorists - whether the distribution of income is equitable. In this analysis, antitrust policy was a means of ensuring the...
