Dynamic Competition Analysis in Competition Law: Beyond Slogans
A workshop organised by the Centre for Law, Economics and Society, UCL
Panel 3 will examine the current state of the law and case studies (from merger control or other ex-ante interventions – e.g. open banking) to understand how current decision-making has integrated (or insufficiently incorporated) dynamic competition analysis, consider what might have differed with a "dynamic competition" analysis, and discuss policy suggestions like Draghi's proposed innovation defense, the emphasis put on potential competition, the future of the Towercast case law and call in powers and how the law engages with both the level and the direction of innovation (responsible innovation).
Chair: Jacques Steenbergen, KU Leuven
Daniele Calisti, DG Comp, European Commission (online)
Nikita Divissenko, Utrecht University
Eleanor Fox, NYU (online)
Gonenc Gurkaynak, ELIG & UCL
