Innovation and Monopoly Leveraging
Franklin M. Fisher Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Department of Economics DYNAMIC COMPETITION AND PUBLIC POLICY: TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION, AND ANTITRUST ISSUES, J. Ellig, ed., Cambridge University Press, 2000 Abstract: This paper, written when Fisher was preparing for his testimony in Microsoft, discusses the circumstances in which monopoly "leveraging" makes sense as an anti-competitive act. Three cases are discussed and contrasted: The IBM case of the 1970's; the Computer Reservation System Cases of the 1980's; and the Microsoft case. Fisher was a principal economic witness in all of them, for the defense in IBM and for plaintiffs in the other two cases.
