Diana Moss joined a panel on “Prospects and Choices for Substantive and Institutional Reform” at the Second Annual Antitrust & Tech Conference: Reinvigorating Antitrust Enforcement in Digital Markets: Issues & Prospects on December 8, 2020. The panel description and speakers are below:

Whereas Panel 1 will focus on better use of current law and agency tool kits, this panel will turn to possibilities for major reforms. As they have been interpreted by the courts, are the U.S. laws up to the task of managing the economy of the 21st century? If not, what kinds of legislative reforms ought to be considered? What are their potential advantages and risks? What specific approaches have been embraced in pending state and federal legislative proposals and in the recent House Subcommittee Majority Staff Report? Are the agencies, as currently designed and funded, adequate to the task of policing the digital economy? If not, what reforms might better equip them to do so? The EU, the UK, and in the U.S. the Stigler Report, have all recommended the creation of new institutions with broader authority to integrate a variety of competition and related policy concerns. What is the case for creating such a digital markets regulator? In the U.S., would it be constituted as a new, stand-alone enforcement agency, or housed within either the FTC or the Department of Justice? Importantly, what would be its charge and what would the scope of its authority?
