A distinctive feature of the Handbook is its in-depth analysis of how competition policy tools have adapted to address the challenges posed by the unique attributes of digital technologies. This focus positions the Handbook as an invaluable resource for understanding the profound changes artificial intelligence will introduce to the competition policy landscape. Individual chapters discuss the different contexts in which competition and technology intersect, including; antitrust damages, e-commerce, information exchange, technological change and vertical agreements in relation to data and market power. The contributing authors also shed light on the impact of geopolitics on mergers and acquisitions, as well as the role of the gig economy in studies of labour law. Additional insights include case studies on antitrust policies on social media and an analysis of the landmark European Media Freedom Act legislation.
This Research Handbook is a crucial resource for students and academics in competition and antitrust law, and internet and technology law. It will also greatly benefit economists interested in competition theory and policy, government officials from national competition authorities and lawyers specialising in competition law.
