Assistant Attorney General Thomas O. Barnett and FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras will be joined by two of the leading antitrust and industrial organization scholars at the opening session, Professor Herbert Hovenkamp and Professor Dennis Carlton. Two panels focusing on predatory pricing will follow on June 22.See the full content of this document
