In the tutorial linked to the lecture „Recent Developments in Competition Theory and Policy“, the methods and techniques from competition analysis are applied to specific cases. In the context of case studies, the students form groups to analyse each particular case. They work out an economic assessment of the competitive situation under consideration, and discuss the decisions made by the competition authorities or the courts. They present arguments pro and con the respective decisions.
