โ€œYou donโ€™t get to be the umpire and have a teamโ€: should we regulate the activities of digital platforms in neighboring markets?

This guest post is by Patrick Todd, an England-qualified solicitor and author on competition law/policy in digital markets. The above quote is not about Democrat-nominee hopeful Elizabeth Warren’s policy views on sport. It is in fact an analogy to her proposal of splitting Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple (“GAFA”) apart from their respective ancillary lines ... โ€œYou donโ€™t get to be the umpire and have a teamโ€: should we regulate the activities of digital platforms in neighboring markets?

Inevitable Monopolies and More Maverick Madness

In antitrust lore, mavericks are magical creatures that bring order to a world on the verge of monopoly.

Manne & Stout 2: Against Incorporating a Contract/Merger Equivalency Assumption in Vertical Merger Guidelines

In our first post, we discussed the weaknesses of an important theoretical underpinning of efforts to expand vertical merger enforcement (including, possibly, the proposed guidelines): the contract/merger equivalency assumption. In this post we discuss the implications of that assumption and some of the errors it leads to — including some incorporated into the proposed guidelines. ...

Rybnicek: The Draft Vertical Merger Guidelines Would Do More Harm Than Good

In an area where it may seem that agreement is rare, there is near universal agreement on the benefits of withdrawing the DOJ’s 1984 Non-Horizontal Merger Guidelines. The 1984 Guidelines do not reflect current agency thinking on vertical mergers and are not relied upon by businesses or practitioners to anticipate how the agencies may review ...
