#SCOTUS's Amex opinion breaks multisided platforms into two basic types: transaction and nontransaction. For #antitrust purposes, transaction platforms may have a stronger claim to a broader relevant market.

The Sup Ct Amex #antitrust opinion is out affirming the Second Circuit in a 5-4 vote in an opinion by Justice Thomas. Justice Breyer has the dissent for Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagan: supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf…

@Scotus addressed market definition for platform businesses today. When demonstrating anticompetitive harms, it would seem that #antitrust plaintiffs must consider multisidedness in their definition of the relevant market.

So glad that my paper "Is Efficiency Biased?" is now forthcoming in @UChiLRev:
Efficient policies typically (but not always) allocate more stuff to the rich than to the poor. Not just indifferent to inequality, but actually exacerbate it.

Large crop of amicus briefs for Ohio v. Amex. It'll be interesting to see what animates tomorrow's arguments: Ease of bringing antitrust claims? Tradeoffs between submarket-level competition and the coordination needed to offer an interdependent, yet differentiated product? twitter.com/ProfWrightGMU/…

Wonder if the room's elephant will emerge during Monday's Ohio v. Amex arguments: If platforms connect groups that otherwise face barriers to interacting, does point-of-sale steering undo that work? And should plaintiffs consider it? My @UChiLRev analysis: bit.ly/2ih4xBp

Petitioners' brief filed on Friday in Ohio v AmEx. The case asks when and how litigants have to take the various sides of a platform business (like payment cards) into account while defining the relevant antitrust market. twitter.com/UChiLRev/statu…

Which groups in a multisided platform antitrust case constitute the relevant market? In Ohio v AmEx, SCOTUS will decide. Patrick Ward suggests a test: bit.ly/2ih4xBp
