Stanford Computational Antitrust

Erik Brynjolfsson from Stanford University discusses measuring market dynamism, the digital economy, and AI dynamics. They explore AI's impact on regulations, the value of digital goods, innovations in AI, tech competition dynamics, and intangible assets in the economy.

In episode 24, Thibault Schrepel talks to Cani Fernández, President of the National Commission for Markets and Competition in Spain. They discuss how computational antitrust can help explore the full scope of the consumer welfare standard, the role lawyers can play, where Cani Fernández will invest resources in the coming years, what she has done to ensure that the agency's computer scientists work with lawyers and vice versa, how computational tools can contribute to better coordination between competition law and regulation, how she deals with companies with large or small computational capabilities, and more.

In this episode 23, Teodora Groza & Thibault Schrepel talk with Eleanor Fox (NYU) about why, how, and when to use computational antitrust in the Global South. They also discuss institutional design, ideology in antitrust, and more. Follow Stanford Computational Antitrust at https://law.stanford.edu/computationalantitrust.

In this episode 22, Teodora Groza & Thibault Schrepel talk with Bill Kovacic about what it takes for antitrust agencies to implement computational antitrust (aka “antitrust 3.0”). Follow Stanford Computational Antitrust at https://law.stanford.edu/computationalantitrust.
