چکیده
The Directorate General for Competition at the European Commission enforces competition law in the areas of antitrust, merger control, and state aids. This year's article provides first a general presentation of the role of the Chief Competition Economist's team and surveys the main achievements of the Directorate General for Competition over 2016/2017. The article then reviews the economic work undertaken in one merger case between Dow/DuPont, which raised specific issues related to innovation, as well as in an antitrust case on parity clauses related to Amazon e-books.

متن کاملHigh order WENO and DG methods for time-dependent convection-dominated PDEs: A brief survey of several recent developments
For solving time-dependent convection-dominated partial differential equations (PDEs), which arise frequently in computational physics, high order numerical methods, including finite difference, finite volume, finite element and spectral methods, have been undergoing rapid developments over the past decades. In this article we give a brief survey of two selected classes of high order methods, n...
متن کاملUsing the Modified Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm for Optimal Sizing and location of Distributed Generation Resources for Reliability Improvement
Restructuring the recent developments in the power system and problems arising from construction as well as the maintenance of large power plants lead to increase in using the Distributed Generation (DG) resources. DG units due to its specifications, technology and location network connectivity can improve system and load point reliability indices. In this paper, the allocation and sizing of di...
متن کاملA bilevel approach for optimal contract pricing of independent dispatchable DG units in distribution networks
Distributed Generation (DG) units are increasingly installed in the power systems. Distribution Companies (DisCo) can opt to purchase the electricity from DG in an energy purchase contract to supply the customer demand and reduce energy loss. This paper proposes a framework for optimal contract pricing of independent dispatchable DG units considering competition among them. While DG units tend ...
متن کاملCoherence in EU Competition
EU competition law plays a central role in the process of European integration and has constantly been developing at a different pace. The dynamics of change in EU competition law have been quickened by the introduction of Regulation 1/2003 that has enabled a decentralised enforcement system of EU antitrust where NCAs and national courts have been empowered to apply articles 81 and 82 EC (now 1...
