Antitrust Case Study

Description: This antitrust case is between the US government (plaintiff) and the US Airways and American Airways (defendants). I am providing total of 35 pages of
amended complaint for this antitrust case. Read the entire 35 pages, and answer the following 6 questions regarding this case. When you answer
questions, you MUST use the âHorizontal Merger Guidelinesâ for your quotations. You may also use âHandoutsâ for economic concepts, major antitrust
acts, etc. I will upload the horizontal merger guidelines and handouts, as well as the case as an additional file. For each question, the answer must be 3
pages long. Therefore total length of the paper has to be 18 pages long. Format is simple; write the first question then answer it, write the second
question then answer it, write the third question then answer it, and so on. QUESTION 1) Identify and analyze the relevant facts in chronological order of
this antitrust case (Start with the oldest fact; this date this happened, and then that date this happened, and so on. Do not bring new facts; use the facts
that provided in the case. You can use bullet point for this question). QUESTION 2) Identify which antitrust law(s) allegedly violated in this antitrust case
(For example; Clayton Act, Section 7. You may use handout 7 and handout 8 for Clayton Act). QUESTION 3) Identify the validity of the definition of the
market for this antitrust case (Detailed market definition provided on horizontal merger guidelines from page 7 to page 15). QUESTION 4) Using economic
analysis of the relevant facts of this antitrust case for each of the antitrust law(s) allegedly violated, write a summary judgment for this antitrust case
(Write a summary judgment without choosing a side, neither plaintiff nor defendant, and be fair to both sides). QUESTION 5) Suppose you are a lawyer,
and you are opposing the summary judgment. Write a rebuttal for an appeal (Choose either the plaintiff side or the defendant side, and write a rebuttal to
the judgment. Use âPer Se Ruleâ if you write a rebuttal for the plaintiff. Use âRule of Reasonâ if you write a rebuttal for the defendant. Refer handout 6
for definitions of the Per Se Rule and the Rule of Reason). QUESTION 6) Identify the factors in this antitrust case that impede a decentralized market
economy to organize economic activity (Explain why merger of two airline companies cannot generate the efficient economic outcome). NOTE: This
antitrust case study must be plagiarism free, correctly spelled and punctuated, free of any grammatical errors, total of 18 pages long (each answer has to
be 3 pages long), double spaced, and MLA style. Thank you very much.
