Kurzbeschreibung

Reihe: Beiträge zum Kartellrecht. Band: 32

Johannes Persch untersucht, wie das EU-Wettbewerbsrecht Einschränkungen des Online-Vertriebs in vertikalen Vereinbarungen behandelt. Dabei analysiert er deren rechtliche und wirtschaftliche Auswirkungen und geht der Frage nach, ob das Konzept der Verbraucherautonomie einen sinnvollen Rahmen für das Verständnis und die Bewertung solcher Praktiken bietet.
