Both houses of the U.S. Congress are considering following suit. Do we really need new rules? Is competition truly in peril? How will these new rules affect markets and consumers? Humboldt University Professor Heike Schweitzer, coauthor of the European Commission’s Report on Competition Policy for the Digital Era, and University of Pennsylvania Professor Herbert Hovenkamp, senior coauthor of the leading antitrust treatise, will discuss and debate these important questions.
