On Competition Policy Challenges with Diane Coyle (Keynes Economics Society)
Competition policy is becoming increasingly concerned with the rise of Big Tech, dominant in the digital services we all rely on. The traditional toolkit of competition economics may not be well adapted to deal with multi-sided digital platforms, or with other new economic challenges such as sustainability and inequality.
In this speaker event, Diane Coyle discusses these concerns and outlines how policymakers can use existing tools and develop new ones, especially to deal with dynamic as well as static effects, to ensure markets work better for society.
Diane Coyle is an economist and a former advisor to the UK Treasury. She was vice-chair of the BBC Trust, the governing body of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and was a member of the UK Competition Commission from 2001 until 2019. Since March 2018, she has been the Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge, co-directing the Bennett Institute.
