A. Gerbrandy, 2020. Big Tech and the Digital Economy: the muddled middle in a polarized debate? In this blog on Nicolas Petit’s book ‘Big Tech and the Digital Economy’ Anna shares her view on the points made by Petit about neo-structuralists versus consumer-welfarists. Anna argues that there is more to competition law than the polar opposites of irrational neo-structuralists and staunch consumer-welfarists. She develops three arguments that seat in the muddled middle of neo-structuralism and consumer-welfarism.
Kulk, S. & Van Deursen, S., 2020. Juridische aspecten van algoritmen die besluiten nemen. Een verkennend onderzoek. The Hague: WODC. This research, of a group of scholars from Utrecht University School of Law, aims to answer the question: Which opportunities and risks arise when using algorithmic decision-making, regarding the protection and realisation of public values, and are the existing legal frameworks equipped to realise these opportunities and prevent the identified risks or mitigate its consequences? The research contains case studies on content moderation by online platforms, self-driving cars, the judiciary, and government collection with traffic fines. Read the English summary: Legal aspects of algorithmic decision-making. An exploratory study.
Gerbrandy, A., 2020. Global Challenges, Big Tech and Legal Responses, in: The Open Society and Its Future, IOS Think Paper Series #1, pp. 17-26. In this paper, which is part of a volume of papers on the concept of Open Societies, Anna Gerbrandy discusses how there is often a mismatch between the system of the law and the questions that global challenges pose to the law. As a result, the law is struggling to advance adequate legal responses, while its foundational principles are themselves under threat as well.
Gerbrandy A., 2019. Changing Competition Law in a Changing European Union The Constitutional Challenges of Competition Law. CompLRev 14(1), pp 33-50. In this article Anna Gerbrandy discusses that European competition law is entering a new period of change – different from the previous fundamental change of economisation and modernisation – this time under the pressure of societal challenges like globalisation, digitalisation, and sustainability, and the current inadequacy of competition law to address them. To have a full grasp of this change, and how to more forward, Anna Gerbrandy suggests a reconsideration of the place of European competition law in the EU’s constitution. If Europe’s (constitutional) challenges cannot be isolated from the greater challenges that confront our world today, then why could European competition law isolate itself from these societal challenges?
