It can't be denied, however that the interest some economists have more lately shown in this field, has greatly helped to improve some juridical decisions.The Game Theory for instance has definitely been helpful in the detection of collusive situations, as indeed the Theory of Contestable Markets when dealing with merging projects.dominant positions, and industries newly opened to competition. Similarly the economists have largely contributed to the working out of the new competition law regulations.
