He has prepared studies on the nature of product and geographic markets and their relevance to Sherman and Clayton Act litigation, and has analyzed the competitive impact of mergers and acquisitions, as well as pricing and other trade practices, on industry structure and performance. These studies and analyses have been undertaken for a wide range of consumer goods and industrial equipment suppliers. He has testified before the International Trade Commission on the domestic impact of less-than-fair-value sales by foreign producers. Mr. Kitt has also undertaken economic damage calculations in antitrust and trade regulation proceedings, contract and asset valuation disputes, and in patent and other intellectual property matters. He has performed analyses of media diversity and competition in television station license renewal proceedings and newspaper, radio, and cable television antitrust litigation, and has analyzed the impact of copyright and other forms of regulation on broadcasters and programming suppliers. In addition, he has evaluated the competitive impact of various kinds of vertical restrictions, including territorial exclusivity and exclusive dealing, in connection with dealer termination and related litigation. He has also collaborated on the presentation of testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission on the criteria to be used in determining transportation market dominance. |
