제목: The challenges of non-price competition and non-monetary means of exchange in Internet platform markets

내용:
Competition law is increasingly considered the suitable instrument to stand up to market dominant Internet platforms. However, this is on condition that it is modernized to conform to new market realities. Especially Internet platforms' mode of operation and big-data-based business models are calling into question the traditional practices of enforcing it. At the heart of the debate is the question of whether current competition law is appropriate for these markets, and whether or where reforms are needed. This talk focuses on two areas that have thus far been accorded a very low profile in research and communications governance and thus require urgent attention: Non-price competition and non-monetary means of exchange. She explains why research into these aspects is of central importance and discusses the theoretical, methodological, and practical hurdles involved in their adequate consideration.
