SYSTEMS MARKETS AND ANTITRUST: COMPETITON ISSUES IN SELECTED INDUSTRIES

This paper aims to explain the competition problems in industries where systems markets are apparent. In this context, an explanation of systems and system competition is provided while analyzing the specific features of systems markets that lead to questions and concerns in antitrust analysis. System competition in three industries, namely automotive, transgenic seed and air transport will be discussed to explain the common antitrust problems and solutions provided by antitrust authorities to strengthen competition in those markets
