Economists have begun to make much greater use of experimental methods in their research. The award of the Nobel Prize in 2002 to Vernon Smith confirmed that the use of such methods is now seen as an important and credible part of the economist's toolkit. In Experiments and Competition Policy, leading scholars in the field of experimental economics survey the use of experimental methods and show how they can help us to understand firm behaviour in relation to various forms of competition policy. Chapters are organized in terms of the main fields of competition policy - collusion, abusive practices and mergers - and there is also a separate section dealing with auctions and procurement. Written in a clear and non-technical style, this volume is an excellent introduction to what the increasingly important field of experimental economics can bring to the theory and practice of competition policy.

When an upstream monopolist supplies several competing downstream firms, it may fail to monopolize the market because it is unable to commit not to behave opportunistically. We build on previous experimental studies of this well-known commitment problem by introducing communication. Allowing the upstream firm to chat privately with each downstream firm reduces total offered quantity from near the Cournot level (observed in the absence of communication) halfway toward the monopoly level. Allowing all three firms to chat together openly results in complete monopolization. Downstream firms obtain such a bargaining advantage from open communication that all of the gains from monopolizing the market accrue to them. A simple structural model of Nash bargaining fits the pattern of shifting surpluses well. We conclude with a discussion of the antitrust implications of open communication in vertical markets.

Das Jahrbuch der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf versteht sich als Forum für den wissenschaftlichen Dialog der Universität zu Zeitfragen, zu aktuellen Problemlagen und Herausforderungen von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft, als Brücke der Vermittlung zwischen Forschung und Öffentlichkeit sowie als Gedächtnisort der Innovationen und des Fortschritts in Forschung und Lehre der Universität und als Speicher der wissenschafts- und hochschulpolitischen Entscheidungen für strukturelle Weichenstellungen mit Langzeitwirkung. Zielgruppe ist die an den Arbeitsergebnissen in Forschung und Lehre sowie an wissenschaftlichen Entscheidungen der Heinrich-Heine-Universität interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Diese soll über die Dynamik und das sich wandelnde Profil der Fakultäten kontinuierlich informiert und in die Lage versetzt werden, sich intensiver mit neuen Forschungsfragen und -ergebnissen auseinander zu setzen. Es geht vor allem darum, die Bedeutung der Forschung für die verschiedenen Lebensbereiche und damit auch für unsere gesellschaftliche Entwicklung bewusst zu machen. Die Beiträge vermitteln gleichsam als Momentaufnahme einen Ausschnitt aus dem permanenten Prozess des sich verändernden Profils der Fakultäten. Erst eine Folge von Jahrbüchern eröffnet die Chance, die Tiefe des Gesamtprofils auszuloten und dessen Nachhaltigkeit zu erkennen.
