TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a practitioner guide to the economic principles of competition law, including the core themes of market definition, market power and dominance, mergers and anti-competition practice, as well as less familiar but important areas such as state aid, remedy design and damages.
Abstract: Competition law is rooted in economic theory, and economics provides many of the standard tools often applied in competition investigations. As a result, a strong foundation in economics is an invaluable asset for practitioners in this area of law. This is the new edition of the popular and well-regarded practitioner guide to the economic principles of competition law. Written in accessible language for non-technical readers, it covers first economic principles by applying them directly to competition cases. It covers all major topics in competition law where economics is relevant: the core themes of market definition, market power and dominance, mergers, and anti-competition practice, as well as less familiar but important areas such as state aid, remedy design and damages. Topics are introduced by posing compelling questions based on real cases from around the world. The new edition has been updated to include important recent developments in competition law, and new economic approaches.

TL;DR: In this paper, three complementary survey-based techniques are presented as supplementary tools in estimating damages in impaired property situations: contingent valuation, conjoint analysis and perceived diminution, which may be employed when conditions limit the use of other methods, the approaches presented are an important addition to the required body of knowledge for any analyst addressing impaired property value.
Abstract: Executive Summary: A problem often exists when using traditional approaches to valuation in assessing damages to contaminated real property. Cost, income, and sales comparison approaches may understate the impact on value when historical and recent sales are limited or nonexistent, or when potential buyers are unaware of or not fully knowledgeable regarding the nature and extent of the contamination. When one or more of these conditions is present, reliance on traditional methods is limited in developing an opinion of damages for litigation. Three complementary survey-based techniques are presented as supplementary tools in estimating damages in impaired property situations: contingent valuation, conjoint analysis and perceived diminution. Due to the fact these approaches may be employed when conditions limit the use of other methods, the approaches presented are an important addition to the required body of knowledge for any analyst addressing impaired property value. This study briefly explores the theo...

TL;DR: There is a long history of laws responding to terrorism that have been utilized in the United Kingdom as discussed by the authors, including in the former colonies of the British Empire, in Ireland, and in mainland Britain itself.
Abstract: There is a long history of laws responding to terrorism that have been utilized in the United Kingdom. This article outlines the important strands of development, including in the former colonies of the British Empire, in Ireland, and in mainland Britain itself. It offers an overview of contemporary legislation — the Terrorism Act 2000, the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 and the Terrorism Act 2006. These comprise a formidably detailed and complex code of measures, principally concentrating upon special police powers, offences and criminal processes, the proscription of organizations and the restriction of financial flows to the terrorists. The article then considers thematically some of the main controversies surrounding the laws. The discussion is organized around the following binaries: a rational code not panic legislation; a criminal justice model not a war model; the language of rights not the language of balance; international cooperation not unilateralism; appropriate structures not empty acronyms. The conclusions warn against undue optimism about the impact of the special laws and undue reliance upon the laws to an extent which damages the very values that the laws seek to protect.
