Latest research shows that social trust has ceased to be an element of the competitive advantage of banks over enterprises that use innovation in the process of providing financial services. Moreover, consumers trust companies belonging to the FinTech (Financial/Technology) sector to a greater extent than banks. In this context, the determinants of consumer decisions, in particular psychological ones, should be analyzed. These are individualized in the context of each choice made by the consumer, and in the face of the observed comparable level of consumer trust in FinTech entities and banks. They may indicate significant differences in the perception of …

Defining Relevant Markets In Digital Ecosystems, Daniel A. Crane

Articles

Traditional market definition focuses on the substitutability of two products or geographies. In digital ecosystems, competition often occurs in important ways that elide definition in conventional substitutability terms. This Article considers three kinds of economic rivalry that do not fit the conventional market definition mold: (1) Single-side competition: In two sided markets, firms may compete on just one side of the market. For example, Google and Facebook compete for the same advertisers, but their users on the other side of the market do not necessarily think of the offerings (social media and universal search) as substitutes; (2) Ecosystem competition: Technology …

An Antitrust Analysis Of The Ncaa Transfer Policy, Michael Carrier, Marc Edelman

Texas A&M Law Review

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) is no stranger to antitrust law. As a trade association composed of nearly all U.S. colleges offering competitive sports, its rules are regularly challenged under antitrust law. In the past 40 years, the NCAA has faced challenges to rules limiting televised game broadcasts, curtailing assistant coaches’ pay, and restraining players’ compensation, among other issues. Restraints on college athlete transfers also could subject the Association to reasonable legal scrutiny.

Restrictions on the ability to transfer can harm athletes by preventing their immediate eligibility even though transferring could allow them to be closer to family, enroll …

Between The Data Act And The Gdpr: Attributing Responsibility For Data Sharing, Antoni Napieralski

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The normative links between the GDPR and the Data Act increase the complexity of attributing responsibility for data sharing under the Data Act. Due to overlaps in the material scope of the GDPR and the Data Act, exercising access rights stipulated by the DA leads to consequences in attributing controllership under the GDPR. Users who are not data subjects, together with third parties receiving the requested data, are likely to become joint controllers. Judicial interpretation of the concept of joint controllership effectively lowered the threshold of becoming a joint controller. In pursuit of the effective protection of the data subject, …

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

This commentary concerns the Servizio Elettrico Nazionale (SEN) case that stems from the conduct of an incumbent operator – Enel S.p.A. – called upon to confront the liberalization process of the Italian electricity market. In particular, the former legal monopolist allegedly worked to consolidate its dominant position in the electricity production market, by denying its rivals access to a resource that would have been non-replicable and of strategic importance to compete in the liberalized electricity distribution market. This ruling is of fundamental importance as the Court of Justice discusses therein the objectives of antitrust law and the notion of exclusionary …

The Court Of Justice Kicks Around The Dichotomy Between Data Protection And Competition Law Case Comment Of The Preliminary Ruling In Case C-252/21 Meta Platforms V. Bundeskartellamt, Alba Ribera Martínez

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

Data protection and competition law have been at a crossroads in terms of their integration. Antitrust authorities as well as data protection supervisory authorities have grappled with the question of whether both fields of law should be combined into the same analysis. The German competition authority, the Bundeskartellamt, was the first to fuse them in its landmark case against Facebook’s data processing terms and conditions. The exploitative theory of harm put forward by the German NCA is the first of its kind to integrate data protection considerations into the antitrust analysis, namely by drawing a line between an infringement with …

Baseball's Antitrust Exemption Still Looms Large For Minor Leaguers Despite Their Recent Unionization & Collective Bargaining Agreement, Rodney William Cannon

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Over a hundred years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States granted Major League Baseball (MLB) an antitrust exemption, allowing the organization to engage in anticompetitive practices that antitrust laws are designed to prevent. Today, MLB remains the only sports league with an antitrust exemption, despite legal challenges and inquiries, especially regarding its impact on the recently unionized Minor League Baseball players in 2022. Issues related to the exemption arise from the history of poor conditions for Minor League Baseball players in relation to their wages, living conditions, and transportation, among others.
