Competition policy , public enforcement , private enforcement , European Union
Abstract:
We investigate the relationship between public and private enforcers introducing a more
differentiated approach. In contrast to the existing literature, we take into account that the
costs and benefits of detection and prosecution and, thus, the usefulness of each enforcement
mode may change with a variation of the type of anticompetitive conduct. We define a set of
parameters that determine the costs and benefits of both types to enforce the antitrust laws and
discuss implications for European competition law and policy.
