SUMMARY:Digitalisation – antitrust tools for the digital economy – do we 
 need a rethink?
DESCRIPTION:The debate around whether or not antitrust tools need to be a
 dapted to the digital economy continues across major jurisdictions. Anti
 trust and big tech has become a political issue in the US Presidential c
 ampaign as well as with a new European Commission taking shape in Europe
 . The following questions will be addressed:\n•	What are the implication
 s for future enforcement of the various hearings and studies we are seei
 ng\, including at the US FTC and by Commissioner Vestager’s special advi
 sers?\n•	How should we think about online platforms and vertical integra
 tion\, which is an issue being investigated on both sides of the ocean.\
 n•	Is there an antitrust theory of harm around self-favouring?\nThe disc
 ussion continues around the data economy and data sharing as an antitrus
 t remedy:\n•	Do we need new tools or theories of harm to address network
  effects and ‘tipping’ markets?\n•	How do we look at defining relevant m
 arkets and market power in view of competition between ecosystems\, comp
 etition for attention\, two/multi-sided platform markets\, an increasing
  focus on non-price effects\, and data privacy as an element of product 
 design?\nThis panel gathers leading experts from regulators\, private pr
 actice\, corporates and academia to give their different perspectives on
  digitalisation.
