Bio
Christopher Yoo has emerged as one of the nation’s leading authorities on law and technology.
[More]
Christopher Yoo has emerged as one of the nation’s leading authorities on law and technology. His research focuses on exploring how the principles of network engineering and the economics of imperfect competition can provide insights into the regulation of the Internet and other forms of electronic communications. He has been a leading voice in the “network neutrality” debate that has dominated Internet policy over the past several years. He is also pursuing research on copyright theory as well as the history of presidential power. He is the author of The Dynamic Internet: How Technology, Users, and Businesses Are Transforming the Network (AEI, 2012), Networks in Telecommunications: Economics and Law (Cambridge, 2009) (with Daniel F. Spulber) and of The Unitary Executive: Presidential Power from Washington to Bush (Yale, 2008) (with Steven G. Calabresi). Yoo testifies frequently before Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission.
