Natural Monopolies in Digital Platform Markets

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This is a powerful, erudite, and timely book that examines the problem of the digital platforms and how to control their power through every lens of competition and regulation, institutionally, legally, and economically. Offering perspectives through both the microscope and the telescope, it concludes that we must increase the complementarity between ex ante and ex post forms of interventions, with different tools and in different mixes as dictated by the platform and the market and how well competition can work.' Eleanor M. Fox, Walter J. Derenberg Professor of Trade Regulation, New York University School of Law 'The so-called 'tech titans' have come to preoccupy competition agencies and scholarly commentators around the world. Contrary to extreme prescriptions such as 'break up' or 'do nothing,' Dr Ducci's book reflects a more subtle and surgical approach to manifestations of dominance in multi-sided markets, one that may be more consistent with consumer welfare than opposing extremes.' Michael Trebilcock, Professor of Law, University of Toronto 'Schumpeter meets regulators on digital platforms in the 21st century. A fascinating book that explores the delicate interface between competition policy and regulation. It comes at the most opportune time.' Tommaso Valletti, Head of the Department of Economics and Public Policy, Imperial College London '... this compelling volume belongs in any collection encompassing digital commerce regulation or media law.' T. Brennan, Choice
