The Consumer Welfare Standard
The Consumer Welfare Standard holds that the logical goal embedded in
antitrust law is “economic efficiency” – delivering lower prices, heightened
innovation and more choices for consumers.
The Antitrust Education Project is dedicated to protecting the
Consumer Welfare Standard as a neutral and fair principle, a
framework that drives innovation, respects democracy, and is in
the short- and long-term interests of the American consumer.

Welfare Standard?
