One point from @geoffmanne I keep coming back to: in merger control, error costs are not symmetric. Block a good deal and there is nothing left to observe. The product is simply never launched. xitter.cf/SCOPE_GE/status/211219…
Digital markets are hard to predict. What follows for merger control? In At Issue, our expert interview series, @geoffmanne of @LawEconCenter argues for more evidence and case-by-case analysis, not more discretion. Full interview here: scopeglobalexchange.com/pers… #MergerControl

What stays with me from this interview: Jorge Padilla ties merger control in digital markets to productivity growth, not only to market structure. That is what is really at stake in the draft EU Merger Guidelines. xitter.cf/SCOPE_GE/status/211211…
Can merger control in digital markets judge the future by the past? Jorge Padilla of @compasslexecon thinks not. He calls for a more daring approach that weighs dynamic effects, efficiencies, and theories of benefit. Full interview here: scopeglobalexchange.com/pers…

Same questions, four answers on the draft EU Merger Guidelines. The sharpest split: should DMA gatekeeper status change how a merger is reviewed? Diana Moss, @ProfSchrepel and @geoffmanne say no. Jorge Padilla sees it differently. xitter.cf/SCOPE_GE/status/211246…
Four experts. Four questions. One draft: the EU Merger Guidelines. At Issue, our new interview series, puts the same questions to Diana Moss, Jorge Padilla, Thibault Schrepel, and Geoffrey Manne, so you can compare their answers. Full interviews here: scopeglobalexchange.com/pers…

Diana Moss reads the draft EU Merger Guidelines as a clear policy choice: help European firms scale up and compete globally. She expects efficiencies, and the quality of the evidence behind them, to weigh heavily in merger review. xitter.cf/SCOPE_GE/status/211252…
Are the draft EU Merger Guidelines a bet on scale? Diana Moss of @ppi sees a clear shift in merger control towards scale, investment, and efficiencies. In her view, DMA gatekeeper status alone should not change how a merger is reviewed. Full interview: youtu.be/EMn1LQRh528

Are the EU’s draft Merger Guidelines fit for purpose? For SCOPE Global Exchange, I asked experts the same four questions on innovation, evidence and DMA gatekeeper status. Follow @SCOPE_GE for more… #mergercontrol

At @NLUDofficial we’ve started discussing the need to reconcile fast pace of digital space w/ innovation & regulation. #DMA can’t be just copied and pasted b/c of peculiarities of Indian market that need to be taken into account according to @CCI_India Chair Kaur. @CompPolicyInt
