Competition Policy

Teaching results

Through this course, the student will understand the importance of efficient competition and deepen knowledge from other microeconomic subjects about markets and firm behaviour in different market structures. By graduating, the student can determine the relevant market, and she/he understands the implications of market power in efficient competition failures, e.g., horizontal and vertical collisions or different types of dominant position abuses.
The theoretical knowledge about different forms of inefficient competition further deepens on seminars through seminar works on specific case studies from the European and Slovak environments. Through seminar works, the student will learn how to work with professional literature from the European Commission and Antimonopoly Office of SR. Seminar works are done in groups and professionally presented. Through presentations of seminar works, students will gain presentation skills and communication skills and teamwork skills.
