Leadiant thought it could cleverly exploit market power and increased the price of a drug from €46 to nearly €14,000.

Abuse, ruled the court—and that's good news.

Sir John Vickers gave a keynote at ACE. His views on the UK Vodafone/Three merger - see the images.

Knowing Sir John, who’s the epitome of moderation, this is quite some scathing criticism directed to the Competition and Markets Authority proposed flawed approach.

Is there still time to re-think?

Column | Europa, trap niet in de val van bedrijfsnationalisme Column: Europa moet niet grote bedrijven op kleine markten toestaan, want daar verliezen veel Europeanen bij, ziet Marike Stellinga

Mijn nieuwe column gaat over het sentiment in de EU minder streng te zijn tav grote bedrijven. Maar om te concurreren met bedrijven uit de VS en China moet Europa niet zijn kracht weggooien. Grote bedrijven op kleine markten toestaan, daar verliezen veel Europeanen bij.

Shocks to the overall retail rent level create vacancy at the edge and eventually lead to other uses of the space at the edge. We verify both empirically. (4/4)

This structure can be explained by walking behaviour of shoppers and leads to different slopes of the rent gradient for different types of shopping districts. Longer stays imply flatter gradient, for example. (3/4)

We study the spatial structure of the Dutch shopping areas using detailed data on shop-level rents, vacancy and transformation to other uses. We show that rents are highest at centre and decrease outwards until other land use yields higher rent. (2/4)
