Virus and Screens: the economic law of digital platforms in the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

This paper, written in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, discusses antitrust and regulatory challenges related to digital platforms. The first part of the paper addresses antitrust issues that emerged during the health emergency, including collaboration between competitors and new anticompetitive behaviours. In the second part of the paper, we discuss regulatory issues arising in the context of the crisis and stress the need for coordination to address challenges related to digital platforms.
