CONFLICTING COMPETITION POLICIES IN A GLOBALIZED BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: PROSPECTS FOR COOPERATION AND CONVERGENCE

Abstract

Countries have differences in competition policies, which are cause for friction in international trade and investment. This paper discusses those issues and develops a model to try to explain the willingness of countries to participate in a cooperative competition policy. The model suggests that countries which are economically advanced, active in trade, and already involved in trade regimes are most likely to cooperate in competition policy.
