Is antitrust law about fairness? @sherman1890.bsky.social’s answer is clear: no, and it never was. In this piece, Prof. Hovenkamp dismantles the growing assumption in competition debates that antitrust should correct inequality or redistribute economic power. www.networklawreview.org/hovenkamp-fa...

New on @networklawreview.bsky.social: Generative AI is increasing academic output. But when attention is scarce, output does not equal influence. The Matthew effect intensifies. Stratification follows www.networklawreview.org/matthew-effe...

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. www.networklawreview.org/lehr-stocker...

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. www.networklawreview.org/barnett-grea...

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 on the subject: networklawreview.org/langlois-pro...

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 Erik Hovenkamp (Cornell) networklawreview.org/hovenkamp-ai...

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

Here are @profschrepel.bsky.social's monthly reading suggestions about antitrust, AI, economics, and more: www.networklawreview.org/november-2025/

Antitrust is no longer a domestic game. Daniel Crane (University of Michigan Law School) maps how Great Powers use antitrust law as a geopolitical lever across tech, culture, finance, and even wartime supply chains. Read here 👇 www.networklawreview.org/crane-great-...

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

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. www.networklawreview.org/dosi-industr...

Industrial policy is back in fashion. From AI to semiconductors, governments are rethinking the balance between intervention and competition. This new issue (with ICLE) explores this tension. Read the introduction 👉 www.networklawreview.org/special-issu...

The EU's "future-proof" AI regulation is a fantasy. AI evolves through emergent properties—GPT-1 to GPT-4 was metamorphosis, not iteration. We need future-responsive regulation, not monuments By @profschrepel.bsky.social at @networklawreview.bsky.social www.networklawreview.org/schrepel-fut...

New Antitrust Antidote: Apple case moves ahead; per se tying theory on Hermès doesn’t fly; alleged algorithmic/benchmarking collusion suits stumble on pleadings... All you need to know about recent U.S. antitrust cases is here: www.networklawreview.org/antidote-7/

Here are @profschrepel.bsky.social’s monthly reading suggestions: DMA & EU users, killer acquisitions, auditable AI, AI Act political economy, GenAI & democracy, AI agents in econ, adaptive regulation + a special issue on law, tech & econ of AI: www.networklawreview.org/september-20...

The EU says its AI rules are “future proof.” They’re not, @profschrepel.bsky.social argues. Without adaptive regulation (modular rules, real-time monitoring, plural triggers, institutional memory) Brussels (and others!) will always be behind the curve. www.networklawreview.org/schrepel-fut...

What if competition law had to be personalized, i.e., tailored to firms, sectors, even algorithms? Adrian Kuenzler (University of Hong Kong) argues AI forces us to abandon one-size-fits-all enforcement. The age of bespoke antitrust is here www.networklawreview.org/kuenzler-ai/

How can regulatory frameworks keep up in the age of #AI? New in @networklawreview.bsky.social, Visiting Professor @flogsell.bsky.social outlines how #GDPR provisions often fail to apply to AI systems, highlighting the need for more adaptive, flexible, and responsive regulatory approaches.

How to implement the EU #AIAct without stifling innovation? Daniel Schnurr highlights 5 key challenges: risk mitigation, trade-offs, adaptability, value-chain responsibility & coherence with sectoral rules. www.networklawreview.org/schnurr-ai-a...

NEW: Korea’s new AI regime shows both promise and peril of overlapping regulators, argues Yo Sop Choi. The 2023 Digital Bill of Rights aims for coherence, but real clarity will hinge on agency coordination: www.networklawreview.org/choi-ai/

New @networklawreview.bsky.social piece by Kyohei Yamamoto & Yasunori Tabei summarizing Japan’s emerging AI regulation: a soft-law AI Bill, a JFTC market study on generative AI, and the new MSCA for mobile software www.networklawreview.org/yamamoto-tab....

NEW article by Nuno Cunha Rodrigues, President of Portuguese Competition Authority. He argues that AI disruption demands a new regulatory ecosystem where competition law works hand in hand with other public policies www.networklawreview.org/cunha-rodrig...

Generative AI exposes GDPR’s limits: consent at scale, accuracy of outputs, erasure in trained models. The fix isn’t more principles, says Florence G'sell (Stanford University), it’s adaptive institutions (EU AI Office, expert panels) and iterative rules. www.networklawreview.org/gsell-statut...

NEW: Jin, Wagman & Zhong show how privacy, security & cross-border data laws overlap with AI policies. These overlaps create trade-offs: innovation vs. protection, competition vs. compliance costs. They call for internationally coordinated AI/data gov www.networklawreview.org/jin-wagman-z...

NEW: @paulohm.bsky.social (Georgetown Law) argues that as AI drives the cost of compliance toward zero, debates on AI regulation should focus on its substance rather than its administrative burden www.networklawreview.org/ohm-ai-regul...

Here are my @profschrepel.bsky.social reading suggestions. Topics include AI openness, how AI improves itself, the unintended consequences of privacy regulation (it’s bad...), vertical integration and consumer choice, classical liberalism, and more. www.networklawreview.org/august-2025/

In this new article, Raz Agranat and Michal Gal explore the competitive dynamics in emerging AI agent markets. They argue that positive feedback loops may enable dominant agents to outperform rivals by leveraging the advantages of scale & network effects www.networklawreview.org/ai-agents-ne....

The EU AI Act is one of the first attempts to regulate AI. Given that previous European digital regulations, such as the GDPR, have influenced laws all over the world, can we expect to see the AI Act as a global standard? @marcoalmada.com waves in www.networklawreview.org/almada-ai-act/.

NEW: "Rising Market Power: Evidence from Industry Studies" by Nathan Miller (Georgetown University McDonough School of Business) Key message: rising market power in the U.S. is largely driven by technological advances rather than weak antitrust enforcement. www.networklawreview.org/rising-marke...
