13th Annual Conference: Civil Liberties and Competition Policy

June 21, 2012

National Press Club

  • Overview
  • Agenda
  • Resources

The AAI took a first-time look at the overlap of Civil Liberties and Competition Policy. There are challenging questions of market definition, concentration, convergence, privacy, and the shaping of remedies in light of the First Amendment. What role can and should antitrust play, for example, in the rapidly evolving online and information markets? What role will concepts like diversity, quality, and choice play in the analysis of future competition issues?

Our gala luncheon honored Stanford University’s Roger Noll, one of the greatest regulatory economists of his generation.
