🚨 Just out: The world’s most downloaded antitrust articles of 2025 on SSRN 🚨 networklawreview.org/top-2025/

Looking for a Christmas read and interested in the recent FTC v. Meta ruling and more? The latest Antitrust Antidote by @kwongervin, Jeremy Sandford, and Nathan Wilson highlights unmissable antitrust news from Oct-Dec. Happy reading, happy holidays!✨ networklawreview.org/antidote-8/

Can a market really have two monopolists? @Sherman1890 argues no, and explains why courts’ “direct” measures of market power clash with the historic and economic meaning of monopoly. Market share, dominance, and why >50% still matters. Read it here networklawreview.org/hovenkamp-mono…

NEW: In this paper, William Lehr, Volker Stocker & Jason Whalley argue that EU digital sovereignty fails if it sacrifices intra-EU competition or confuses control with self-sufficiency, especially in the AI stack. networklawreview.org/lehr-stocker-w…

New on the Network Law Review: Paradoxically, more AI can reduce optimal remote work when knowledge-sharing remains costly, while better AI tools that cut collaboration frictions expand efficient hybrid/remote options. networklawreview.org/ai-knowledge-s…

Why has two decades of EU digital rule-making strengthened Big Tech instead of Europe? In a must-read piece, @Valerielaure maps the failures, and offers a radical 3R roadmap for digital sovereignty.👇 networklawreview.org/benabou-digita…

What if antitrust’s obsession with consumer welfare is hurting US competitiveness? Jonathan Barnett shows how global power politics (especially China’s mercantilism) force a fundamental rethink of US antitrust. Essential reading. networklawreview.org/barnett-great-…

The DSA isn’t just regulation, it’s Europe’s industrial weapon argues @MarieSekwenz. By exporting its rules worldwide, the EU shapes how the digital economy innovates, competes, and... moderates. networklawreview.org/sekwenz-digita…

Europe’s renewed push for industrial policy is a golden moment for antitrust agencies according to Frédéric Jenny (@OECD_BizFin). To stay relevant, he suggests they must embrace innovation, sustainability, resilience & growth. networklawreview.org/jenny-industri…

What happens when data from one product quietly boosts a firm’s power in other markets? AI-era spillovers make leveraging strategies far more profitable, and far harder to evaluate. A must read, by @ErikHovenkamp (@Cornell/@CornellLaw) networklawreview.org/hovenkamp-ai-a…

Antitrust is no longer a domestic game. @DanielDancrane maps how Great Powers use antitrust law as a geopolitical lever across tech, culture, finance, and even wartime supply chains. A sharp, timely piece! Read here 👇 networklawreview.org/crane-great-po…

Trade barriers can drive rivals like China to innovate, but true edge belongs to those plugged into global tech networks. The US-China chip conflict reveals the paradox of protectionism in industrial policy. 👉🏼 Read Dick Langlois (@UConn) on the subject: networklawreview.org/langlois-prote…

What happens when industrial policy moves from tariffs to invisible regulatory barriers? Daniel Spulber (@KelloggSchool) shows how non-tariff barriers distort trade & erode incentives to innovate. New in the NLR x ICLE special issue on competitiveness. 👉 networklawreview.org/spulber-indust…

Is “industrial policy” really back? Giovanni Dosi argues it’s mostly a dystopian reboot, more zero-sum than visionary-oriented strategy. Our new NLR–ICLE special issue starts with a bang. networklawreview.org/dosi-industria…

Industrial policy is back. From AI to semiconductors, governments are rethinking the balance between intervention and competition. This new issue (with @LawEconCenter) explores this tension. Read @DanielDancrane, @ErikHovenkamp, @MarieSekwenz & others! 👉 networklawreview.org/special-issue-…

🚀 The Competition Stories are back, produced by Mario Siragusa & Alice Setari from @ClearyGottlieb! The first issue dives into Commission activity in digital markets: the first DMA non-compliance decisions and probe into online food delivery coordination networklawreview.org/competition-st…

Here are @ProfSchrepel's monthly reading suggestions. Topics include economic analysis in the DMA, justice automated by AI, the innovation costs of extreme sucess, agent-based models, how Europe crushes innovation, how to master writing, and more. networklawreview.org/october-2025/

The EU's DMA imposes per se prohibitions on gatekeepers. Eckart Bueren and Marcel Zober ask whether efficiencies—like enhancing contestability—can still influence how it is enforced, and what that means for the rules-vs-standards debate. networklawreview.org/effects-based-…
