Harley-Davidson and the FTC man: how Bob Pitofsky wiped out 80 years of U.S. antitrust enforcement
Article Abstract:
US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decisions to rescind the order banning exclusive dealing by Harley-Davidson and sunset all FTC administrative orders over 20 years old suggest that FTC chair Robert Pitofsky is as soft on antitrust enforcement as his Republican-appointed predecessors. The FTC ended the Harley-Davidson order in 1995 after 41 years despite the fact that the company has 70% of the heavyweight motorcycle market. The FTC justified undoing years of FTC enforcement by sunsetting all orders over 20 years old by claiming a convergence of consumer and corporate interests.

The FTC's 'sunset' policy: does it make sense to set aside 60 years (80%) of its antitrust orders?
Article Abstract:
The assumption implicit in the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 1994 policy of setting aside consent decrees and other orders after 20 years is that after 20 years companies will no longer be interested in engaging in anticompetitive practices. There is no empirical justification for this policy. Furthermore, the fact that companies subject to such orders need not make any showing to have an order set aside is puzzling. The orders were put into place for a reason. The case of resale price agreements in the rubber industry is used to show how the FTC is handling such requests.
