Some thoughts on Eric Hellard's review
I haven't read the book, but I wish here to comment on Mr Hellard's interesting review. Predation or Prevarication?
Lott neatly dissects the case for predatory pricing in a logical manner that evidences a thorough grounding in the economic literature.He marshalls convincing empirical evidence through statistical modelling that dovetails nicely with the illustrative examples he provides.Taking each point in hand, he makes the case against predatory pricing in private enterprise, while developing a clear picture of why it can and does occur in the public sector.A must read for the policy-maker and anti-trust supporters, his thoughtful critique will stand as an important work for years to come.

by Eric A. Helland
In the 1960s and 1970s, the conventional wisdom in the economics of industrial organization was that monopoly power was pervasive and that a strong antitrust policy was needed to combat such power. A small band of economists and lawyers associated with the University of Chicago attacked the conventional wisdom, knocking out the theoretical underpinnings of antitrust law in general and the theory of predatory pricing in particular. The Chicago School analysts showed that, in theory, predatory pricing was unlikely to work because it required the predator to lower prices on an increased quantity of product, thereby taking large losses in the short run. Moreover, even if the competitor were driven out of business, the higher long-run price needed to recoup the short-run loss would encourage entry, and in the final accounting the predation would prove unprofitable. Empirical analysis backed up the Chicago School theory. Indeed, economists could not adduce a single clear-cut case of actual predatory pricing-hence, the title of the survey article by Roland H. Koller II, "The Myth of Predatory Pricing" (Antitrust Law and Economics Review 4 [summer 1971]: 105-23).Read more
