Background
Dr Barbora Jedlickova joined the TC Beirne School of Law as an Associate Lecturer in 2011. She specialises in competition law, with principle research interests in competition-law theories, competition law in the digital economy and comparative competition law. Her research has focused on various topics, including cartels, vertical restraints, bargaining power, and economic and jurisprudential theories and arguments in competition law. Her research also includes the analysis of specific markets with distinctive issues, such the grocery retail market, the pharmaceutical market and the telecommunications market. She has published both internationally and nationally. Her publications include a research monograph Resale Price Maintenance and Vertical Territorial Restrictions: Theory and Practice in EU Competition Law and US Antitrust Law published by Edward Elgar Publishing.
Dr Jedlickova's engagement and research are both nationally and internationally orientated. She is a member of the Competition and Consumer Committee of the Law Council of Australia. She has visited several European and US institutions as a visiting scholar, including the University of Iowa, Boston University and the Court of Justice of the European Union. She is a member of a number of national and international associations. She has also been an active member of the International League of Competition Law (LIDC) and has been involved in several international LIDC projects. Together with 17 senior competition-law experts, Dr Jedlickova has been working towards establishing LIDC Australia and New Zealand, the first LIDC group in Australia and New Zealand linked to international LIDC.
Dr Jedlickova has served as an Editor of the Oceania Column of Competition Policy International (‘CPI’) and as a General Editor of the LAWASIA Journal. Dr Jedlickova is a Fellow of the Centre for Public, International and Comparative Law (CPILC) and a Fellow of the Australian Centre for Private Law at the TC Beirne School of Law.

Parallelism and Cartels: Boundaries between Legal and Illegal Collusion
Competition law regimes of many developed countries, including Australia, have been increasing penalties for cartels and/or criminalising such conduct. This encourages entities involved in collusive behaviour to achieve consensus through indirect means to avoid a possibility to be caught by a competition authority. It is important therefore for courts and competition authorities to distinguish between cooperative oligopoly and natural oligopoly and to interpret evidence correctly.
This potential PhD thesis should/could include not only analysis of a cartel regime but also a study of the most recent (and older) economic theories and existing and potential legal theories to establish boundaries between illegal and legal conduct and argue the correctness of an approach to horizontal collusion. This topic could include a comparative study or it could even be a pure empirical study.
