🎙️ NEW PODCAST 🎙️ Where should I start? I am launching a new academic podcast called “Scaling Theory”. I am of course incredibly excited, but more importantly, I hope you’ll find it interesting. I want to explore the power laws behind the growth of businesses, technologies, legal systems, and living systems. The podcast will feature scholarly discussions with select guests (I’ve already recorded a couple, to be published very soon!!) and deep dives into the academic literature. Everything is explained in the introductory episode. ➝ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/7o5GqRfTO… ➝ Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sca… ➝ YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCoxJ0…

AI regulation, explained as a group chat.👇

Help me reach these milestones. 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/schrepel

Today. Will try out a couple of new research ideas, see how they fly. @durham_uni @alti_VU

🎙️ NEW episode: @Scott_E_Page (from @UMICHCS & @sfiscience) on why diversity beats genius. Listen (links in the comments) 👇 #scalingtheory

We are launching a new journal! Long live the Journal of Dynamic Competition (JDC). @DavidJTeece @CompetitionProf...

New agencies are joining us: COMESA, ERCA, the UAE, Zimbabwe, and Morocco. We are thrilled to continue expanding this global initiative that collaborates with competition agencies to research and deploy computational tools (from data science to AI) to strengthen antitrust enforcement. Welcome to the Stanford #ComputationalAntitrust Project! ➝ law.stanford.edu/2026/03/12/com… ➝ law.stanford.edu/2026/03/05/the… ➝ law.stanford.edu/2026/03/09/sta… ➝ law.stanford.edu/2026/03/16/zim… ➝ law.stanford.edu/2026/03/18/mor… Soon, I will be hiring three PhD candidates and one post-doc at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam), my home institution, to expand computational antitrust research. Stay tuned!

In Poland. Just in case.

NEW episode of the Stanford #ComputationalAntitrust podcast with Gustavo Augusto Freitas de Lima, head of @CadeGovBr. Brazil’s antitrust agency never ceases to amaze: automated decision-making within minutes, an app, live streaming, cartel detection in public procurement, and more. What a great conversation alongside the great Alba Ribera Martínez. ➝ YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=xKhkCC… ➝ Apple: podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/sta… ➝ Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1EcVTR…

In Bydgoszcz (Poland) today for the @UOKiKgovPL conference on dark patterns in competition law. I’ll be speaking about how agencies are using computational tools to spot and analyze potential dark patterns, as well as the institutional implications of doing so.

Yesterday was a good day. Make it much better following this link 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/schrepel. THANK YOU.

Stanford #ComputationalAntitrust project never stops growing. Today, we welcome Zimbabwe’s Competition and Tariff Commission (@CTCZimbabwe) to the project.

THAT was a conference. Adam Smith’s presence was looming in a room filled with so, so many friends.

This is quite a law & econ crew right here!! @BrianCAlbrecht @AuerDirk @filip_lubinski

Some new developments in the EU derivatives cartel case. This case matters because it exposes a structural issue in EU competition law. Courts must review cartel fines based on complex quantitative models they often cannot fully reconstruct...

@ProfSchrepel setting the stage for the debate. In a time of political grandstanding against “bigness” we may need some slogans. Even Adam Smith used them. But they came after the analysis. #SubstanceOverSlogans

And now... COMESA! (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Tunisia, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, Eswatini, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo) #computationalantitrust
