Prof. Brennan’s research has addressed topics in antitrust, regulatory economics, copyright, electricity markets, telecommunications and media policy, environmental economics, and methods and ethics in public policy. His antitrust-related publications have looked at market definition, monopolization standards, vertical integration, per se rules, interconnection agreements, and applications to regulated sectors and the Microsoft case. His recent research has focused on exclusionary practices, particularly with regard to bundled rebates, and the relationship between antitrust and innovation. Journals publishing his research include Journal of Law and Economics, Journal of Regulatory Economics, the Antitrust Bulletin, and numerous law reviews. With Karen Palmer and others at RFF, he co-authored two books on electricity deregulation, A Shock to the System (1996) and Alternating Currents: Electricity Markets and Public Policy (2002).
