Predatory pricing

Contents

Place in the Framework

Predatory pricing concerns below-cost pricing that threatens to exclude rivals and later allow the defendant to recoup losses through supracompetitive prices.

Core Questions

  • Is the price below an appropriate measure of cost?
  • Is there a dangerous probability of recoupment?
  • How does the doctrine avoid condemning low prices that benefit consumers?
