I am on Bluesky , new competitor. Same handle. It’s great. Please quit here and join there.
Changes are being proposed that would seriously weaken the Digital Markets Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Bill. My Digital Competition Expert Panel colleagues and myself felt moved to send a letter to the PM to urge him to stand firm. on.ft.com/3FoWwkX
via @nytimes Google comms team gets bonus today! Msft market share listed and not theirs (both near 100); G partners described (hardware, apps) and not M’s. M was gateway to internet while G is not. The trial will be boring compared to M. Wow nytimes.com/2023/09/11/tec…
Later this week @Columbia_Biz is hosting a fascinating conference on non-market effects of market power (organized by @ProfFionasm , @andreapratnyc , @DFoarta and @bocowgill !) non-market.org/program
I am not posting here any more because I don’t feel like providing free content to enrich its owner. But I have interesting new observations about FTC antitrust enforcement newly up at Post.news, LinkedIn, and Mastodon social. Check them to read it!
Submit to the Highland Health Economics Symposium June 4-6, 2023 in Oban, Scotland by March 1 abstracts (one page), or complete paper drafts if available to: [email protected]. Decisions by March 31. Organized by @stparente @ProfFionasm @bradfowd1 #BobTown

You guys. Seriously. Go to Post. Get on the waitlist. I am checking every few days and it is getting to be a critical mass. I think this move can happen in the New Year.
Leaving twitter today. You can find me on mastodon (@[email protected], on linkedin under my name and (I hope) on Post news once the waiting list clears.
The verified brand situation is getting out of control. Quick thread of twitter blue brands, and brands who might be pissed off at Elon right about now.
Can Elon Musk buy Fox News next

A shift is happening within the EU. Once dominant, the liberal, pro-globalisation faction is losing ground to a French-led campaign for a more insular, less "naive" Europe. The fight over Fiona Scott Morton was a symptom of that. My column this week: economist.com/europe/2023/07…

Compelling pitch for post.news by @seema_econ
I can't believe anybody would blame *regulation* for expensive wireless carrier service in the US when we had a highly concentrated industry and literally just waived through one of the most blatantly anticompetitive mergers of all time.
Being in the UK reminds me how expensive cell service is in USA. Uk: 100 GB data for $36. USA be lucky to get 20GB for that price. Regulation is a major source of the price gap. Biden could save families a lot on their cell service by deregulating, but won’t. 1/2
Padilla defends of a neoclassical model with no oligopoly nor monopolistic competition. Those who rejected or ignored those gave us the error-cost framework; he treats its opponents as "Neo-Brandeisian," but they are in fact mainstream. There's no middle ground in his model.
1- A 🧵 on Jorge Padilla's recent paper 'Neoclassical Competition Policy Without Apology' through dynamic competition 👓. All in all, the paper provides a good theoretical framework, but it leaves practical difficulties unresolved papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf….
@Noahpinion I mostly agree, but in retrospect we were wrong about quite a few antitrust issues.

It’s going to be hard for regulators and so-called good actors to make the crypto space safe when the fundamental equilibrium price of the assets the entire edifice is built on is zero.
@DanWall55 @dougmelamed @ProfFionasm In my discussions with the press, I am shocked at the number of times that CW is simply identified uncritically with Bork. It's no wonder that so many people get it wrong.
“We have a distorted system for paying for drugs administered in a doctor’s office. The manufacturer chooses the price, and there is no system to pit one drug against the other to encourage physicians to choose the less expensive one.” — @ProfFionasm yalesom.io/3pYAhu9
One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.
@SenMarkey @washingtonpost Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody?
Also you can't use Bitcoin to buy anything except drugs and ransoms, so there's the question of why you would ever want any of it in the first place.
why would anyone say 1:1? These are ordinal measures. We can typically measure directions, but rarely amounts; nor is it necessary. An agreement "restrains trade" when it reduces the volume; we don't need to know the amount.
