"Numerical Comparative Competition Law: Effects of Competition Law Structures on Competition Intensity Perceptions in Latin America and the Caribbean"

Mi colega y amigo Pablo Márquez, quien actualmente está realizando un doctorado en Derecho en Oxford, publicó un documento preliminar titulado "Numerical Comparative Competition Law: Effects of Competition Law Structures on Competition Intensity Perceptions in Latin America and the Caribbean".

Pablo nos tiene acostumbrado a documentos que tienen tres características: 1) un enfoque interdisciplinario; 2) un riguroso uso de fuentes y 3) ideas originales; siendo este última su característica más destacada y que personalmente más valoro.

El documento de referencia no se escapa al los textos "tipo Pablo" y por eso no dudo en recomendarlo. Abajo transcribo su resumen:

"ABSTRACT: This paper goal is to define a method to measure the index of restrictiveness of competition law focused on Latin America and the Caribbean and to determine if there are statistically significant causal relationships between competition law goals and the restrictiveness of CL. The index is defined based on the patterns and characters of statutory law and to determine what the incidence of the legal arrangement of competition law institutions in agent's perceptions of the institutional environment of competition is. Regarding causal relationships among competition law and competition intensity Results are not successful to determine a relationship of restrictiveness of competition law and subjective or objective measures of competition intensity. Further research is necessary as measures of competition intensity and policy perceptions are highly correlated."
