#27 The Hidden Impact of the Shipping Act Exemption

from Trust and Trade · host American Bar Association

Look around you - almost everything in your home or office was once on an ocean shipping vessel. Yet this essential area of commerce continues to enjoy one of the oldest exemptions from US antitrust law. Does this loophole keep prices low for consumers? Or does it raise prices for shippers and make supply shocks worse? Hosts Anant Raut and David Golden are joined by Shipping Act expert Melissa Maxman and the American Antitrust Institute's Kathleen Bradish to debate whether it's time to deep-six the Shipping Act antitrust exemption. With special guests: Kathleen Bradish, Acting President, American Antitrust Institute and Melissa Maxman, Partner, Cohen & Gresser LLP Related Links: American Antitrust Institute report on "Competition Enforcement, Private Actions, and the Shipping Act" Hosted by: Anant Raut and David Golden
