FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust Law is pleased to present the second edition

of the Market Power Handbook, a comprehensive review of the market

power issues that arise in antitrust analysis. The goal of the Handbook is

to address market power from both a legal and an economic standpoint; it

is designed to serve as a nontechnical resource rather than an economic

text. Nonetheless, the Handbook provides an introduction to and

summary of the economic concepts that are critical to an understanding

of market power.

The Section is indebted to the many attorneys and economists who

contributed to this Handbook. In particular, the Section’s Economics

Committee devoted a great deal of time and attention to this project. We

are especially grateful to Mary Coleman and Bruce Hoffman, who

coordinated the drafting and editing of the Handbook; and to Edwin

Fountain, who edited the Handbook for publication.
