Conference on the 50th Anniversary of United States v. Philadelphia National Bank
Friday, November 15, 2013, all day
Abstract: In 1963 the Supreme Court decided United States v. Philadelphia National Bank. This was only the Court’s second decision under the amended Section 7 of the Clayton Act. This conference will examine the Court’s decision in PNB then, as it has developed since (both in terms of court decisions and economic thinking in the United States and elsewhere), and how it might yet develop in the future. The Supreme Court has not decided a substantive Section 7 case since 1974. The papers presented at this conference will hopefully assist the Court in its deliberations should it consider a Section 7 case in the near future.

Abstract: The purpose of this day-long conference is to provide an opportunity for antitrust/competition law professors who began their full-time professorial careers in or after 2002 to present their latest research. Senior antitrust scholars and practitioners in the field will comment on the papers.
