Antitrust lawyers
routinely deal with claims that prices have been set through anticompetitive
means (price-fixing or predation, for example). But how do businesses
ordinarily (and lawfully) set prices? Join us for the Antitrust Section’s
2016-17 kick-off program. Professor Akshay Rao will provide an entertaining and
educational introduction to pricing strategies. (No mathematics required
or allowed!) Combining his academic research with
his business-world consulting experience, Prof. Rao will offer examples from the wide
array of industries in which he has consulted from food and airlines to apparel and
financial services. He will also offer insights from behavioral economics and other recent
research into consumer decision-making.
Lunch will begin at
11:45 a.m., CLE program will start promptly at 12:00 p.m.
To make this program as
relevant as possible, Professor Rao would like to receive some audience questions in
advance. Prizes will be awarded for the best pre-submitted questions in
three categories: Best In-House Counsel Question, Best Outside-Counsel Question,
and Best Student/Other Question. Submit your questions to Carol Peterson
(capeterson1@mmm.com).
