Abstract: Abstract The appropriate role of the As Efficient Competitor Test (AECT) in assessing alleged pricing abuses has been debated amongst competition policy economists and lawyers for years. This is especially so for pricing conduct that does not involve predation. This paper considers this in the context of a recent case – the Royal Mail case.
