Digital platform regulation: are we all included in the digital economy?

A launch event of the book Digital Platform Regulation. Making Markets Work for People by Fiona Scott Morton. Digital markets around the world face growing scrutiny over issues including limited competition, high prices and restricted innovation. This new book examines how regulatory frameworks—such as the EU’s Digital Markets Act and antitrust actions in the US—aim to address these problems by introducing clearer rules for dominant platforms. It explores key questions such as: what kind of regulatory approaches can promote more dynamic and open digital markets? What responsibilities should large platforms have to ensure fair access for businesses and users? Bringing together insights from economics, law and technology, the book provides a detailed look at how smart, targeted regulation will help digital markets to work better for users.
