On June 2, 2021, Diana Moss presented the results of AAI research into market power and digital ecosystems at a workshop on digital dominance at the The University of Governance in Berlin, Hertie School. Moss contributed a keynote address to a session on “Concrete Contributions to Detecting Market Dominance in Digital Sectors.” Her remarks were based on AAI research funded by a grant from the Omidyar Network Fund. The workshop was described as follows:

The digital economy is challenging established analytical frameworks and exacerbating existing challenges in competition and antitrust proceedings. The workshop is designed for a small number of engaged participants brought together to help establish mechanisms for documenting market dominance. We wish to identify and promote extant or readily available empirical data and research on the functioning of digital markets. We seek materials that could be relied upon as empirical evidence when arguing competition cases in decisions by the European Commission and/or at the European Court of Justice. We are particularly interested in making a timely impact in light of the EU’s recently released draft legislation: The Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act, and the forthcoming AI legislation (expected draft release 14 April 2021), all of which are likely to be finalized in the course of 2022 (likely during the French presidency the first half of that year.)
