Reason
ICLE Senior Scholar in Competition Policy Dan Gilman offers his perspective on the new FTC’s flawed merger guidelines on this recent story in Reason Magazine. See full story here.
Daniel Gilman, senior scholar of competition policy at the International Center for Law and Economics (ICLE), explains that merger guidelines are not federal regulations; they do not carry the force of law. Still, these guidelines can exert “some influence on the courts,” which can cite them as persuasive authority, similar to law-review articles, noted treatises, and other expert opinions, per Gilman.
