Yawning gaps in bargaining powers between transacting parties have always been a source of concern in commercial relations and the legal governance of such relations. In modern times, the likely implications of gaps in bargaining powers are not only palpable as it concerns the affairs of transacting parties with weaker bargaining powers, but also on the welfare of society, at large. That is particularly so in this milieu of pervasive oligopolistic market structures, organised commercial networks, digitisation, and big data. The imperative to guard against the use of contractually agreed remedial clauses to consolidate market power and as tools for wealth extraction is the concern of this article. To this end, this article makes a case for a recalibration of the rule against penalties in contract law.

Market Participants

Contemporary directions of the market liberalization should lead to a bigger number of market participants and to a bigger degree of competition among them. This again, leads to a more diversified offer and to bigger quality products along with higher level of services with cheaper rates. In order to control the mentioned processes, analysis of market concentration is needed, as well as studying and perfection of the methods that allow measurement of market concentration. The degree of market concentration which on a specific market one or more economic subjects have is defined as ‘’market power’’. Economic efficiency on a specific market largely depends on whether non competitive market structures which produce adverse effects on economic efficiency are existent on that market, which ultimately affects on the overall well – being. Conversance of the degree of concentration of a specific (relevant) market is important so that breaching of the market principles can be timely spotted and so that appropriate measures can be taken. Supervision over the market and the market processes, as well as appliance of specific measuring methods of market concentration have the goal of establishing and maintenance of free market competition in which all of the economic subjects participate under the same conditions.

This research discusses the determinants of inflation according to Al-Maqrizi, one of Ibnu Khaldun’s disciples. He argued that inflation is caused by natural factors and human error factors. Among those human error factors, government corruption and the excess supply of non-metal money. This study employs a critical review on the work of al-Maqrizi, ighatsatul ummah bi kasyfil ghummah, supported with a panel data regression on cross-country data related to the rate of inflation, the rate of corruption and the number of the natural disaster. The empirical data shows that the rate of inflation is positively related to the human error factors; corruption, tax, and money supply. The results indicated the relevancy of al-Maqirizi’s postulate to the modern days’ economy.  However, natural disasters are not proven as a significant factor for inflation in the country level. This paper contributes to the importance of the study on the classical Muslim Scholars thinking to understand current economic problems and the way to solve it.

Tax competitive policies can be effective in cases of a collaborated cross-border effort with international consensus on minimum thresholds and mechanisms for cross-country cooperation. However, aggressive uncoordinated tax competitiveness destroys value and shrinks the growth and prosperity of the industry. Hence, there is a need for tax certainty and common standards in international transfer pricing. The OECD has provided a framework for countries to move towards universal tax regimes that have common tax policies and coordinated implementation systems. This paper highlights the issue of AMP (advertising, marketing and promotion) costs in transfer pricing and seeks to establish the need for coordination among national tax systems. Ensuring consistency among the tax policies of the world’s nations is important for preventing instances of BEPS (base erosion and profit shifting) that are the products of the gaps between elaborately drafted and extremely complicated tax legislations. Creation of universal tax principles and their effective implementation is the only solution to this problem.
