Stucke on Monopolist’s Deception

Maurice Stucke (Tennessee) has posted to SSRN When a Monopolist Deceives.  The abstract provides:

This essay uses one context – a monopolist’s deceptive advertising or product disparagement – to illustrate how competition authorities and courts should evaluate a monopolist’s deception under the federal antitrust laws. Competition authorities should target a monopolist’s anticompetitive deception, which courts should treat as a prima facie violation of the Sherman Act without requiring a full-blown rule of reason analysis or an arbitrary, multi-factor standard.
