SUMMARY:Seminar on European Competition Law for National Judges: Competit
 ion Economics for Judges
LOCATION:Budapest\, Hungary ()
DESCRIPTION:The Hungarian Competition Authority (GVH) and the OECD-GVH Re
 gional Centre for Competition in Budapest (Hungary) (“RCC”) will hold th
 eir next seminar on European competition law for national judges on 19-2
 0-21 February 2015 in Budapest\, Hungary. The seminar will receive fundi
 ng from the European Union. The February 2015 competition law seminar wi
 ll provide judges with an opportunity to explore\, in the proven setting
  of the RCC judges seminars\, in greater depth the economic principles u
 nderlying competition cases\, the methods used by economists\, and their
  application in cases before national courts.  The seminar will focus in
  particular on the economics of abuse of dominance cases\, distribution 
 restraints (such as restrictions on internet sales)\, and claims for dam
 ages.  The goal of the seminar is to make judges more familiar with econ
 omic concepts\, to be more confident when presented with economic based 
 arguments\, and to communicate more effectively with economic court expe
 rts and economic expert witnesses. The seminar will emphasise both aspec
 ts – “competition economics” and “for judges.” Thus\, we are not aiming 
 to offer a series of lectures on text book microeconomics.  Rather\, we 
 want to discuss concepts of competition economics as they are relevant f
 or the work of judges and focus on methods used by economists as they ca
 n be relevant in cases before national courts.  Short exercises will be 
 included to illustrate the application of economic principles and method
 s in hypothetical cases. By putting competition economics in the context
  of case examples and case studies\, we want to ensure that the topic is
  addressed from a judicial perspective and accessible for judges.
