What can Antitrust do with Big Tech & the Digital Economy?

13 January 2021

FSR Talk with Prof. Nicolas Petit, EUI

We all see that Big Tech companies and platforms – notably the American Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, etc – have built powerful positions from which they never stop expanding. Netflix is another blatant demonstration. It begs the questions:

  • Will Education, Health, even Public Government routine (as car registration & monitoring for road conduct enforcement) follow the same way to ‘’Moligopoly’’?
  • Is this consequential for the rest of the economy and society? And why?
  • What could be done to get it better or safer?

Watch the recording

Nicolas Petit is Professor of Competition Law at European University Institute in Florence. He works on the issue since 2017, took his 2018 sabbatical at Stanford, and made it into a book: “Big Tech & The Digital Economy: The Moligopoly Scenario” (Oxford University Press, October 2020).
Wednesday 13 January, 2pm CET, in this FSR Talk, Petit will discuss his views with professors EricBrousseau & Jean-Michel Glachant. Participants will have a chance to intervene directly in our online Q&A.
Access is fully free, upon registration.
