Book Description
Antitrust guarantees a particular distribution of wealth between consumers and producers. Big data allows firms with pricing power to identify the highest price a consumer is willing to pay for a good and charge it to her. The practice upends the current distribution of wealth by allowing firms to charge the highest possible prices to everyone. Current antitrust rules cannot respond because they proscribe the formation, but not the exercise, of pricing power. Two options preserve the current distribution of wealth. One is deconcentration of industry. The other is use by government of big data to set prices.

Antitrust in Data Driven Markets & Legal Framework for Influencers, Native Advertising and Control over the Use of AI in Marketing
Author: Bruce Kilpatrick
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303107422X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
This book gathers contributions from a broad range of jurisdictions, written by practitioners and academics alike, and offers an unparalleled comparative view of key issues in competition law, intellectual property and unfair competition law, with a specific focus on the use of personal data. The first part focuses on the role of competition law in shaping the digital economy. It discusses the use of personal data, the market power of platforms, the assessment of free services, and more broadly the responsibility of dominant companies in the smooth functioning of the digital economy. In turn, the second part sheds light on how the conduct of influencers, native advertising and the use of AI for marketing purposes can be controlled by the law, focusing on the use of personal data and the impact of behavioral advertising on consumers. In this regard, the book brings together the current legal responses across a number of European and other countries, all summarized and elaborated on in the form of two international reports. The LIDC is a long-standing international association that focuses on the interface between competition law and intellectual property law, including unfair competition issues.

Algorithmic Price Discrimination on Online Platforms and Antitrust Enforcement in China's Digital Economy
Author: Wei Han
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 10
Book Description
Antitrust issues in the digital economy, especially those concerning big data and algorithms, have attracted the attention of both scholars and practitioners all around the world. Against the backdrop of rapid development of China's digital economy, many online platforms now have a largely data- or algorithm-driven business model. Concurrently, the antitrust issues in relation to data and algorithms have also triggered social concerns. For example, in early 2018, the so-called Shashu phenomenon became a hot topic in Chinese society. “Shashu” refers to algorithmic price discrimination by online platforms where longer-term customers are charged less favorable prices. Some observers hold that this type of price discrimination is against the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China (AML), and ought to be investigated accordingly. This article explores the potential challenges of applying the AML to algorithmic price discrimination and offers some suggestions on how to structure the analysis, taking into consideration the unique characteristics of China's digital economy and at the same time abiding by the “tolerant and prudent” principle. We note that although many of the discussions in this article apply to traditional off-line price discrimination as well, algorithmic price discrimination is unique in the sense that it is closely intertwined with online platforms and their ability to amass consumer information in a fashion unthinkable in traditional off-line marketplaces.
