ICLE Chief Economist Brian Albrecht was quoted by Courthouse News in a story about the role of two-sided markets in the U.S. Justice Department’s antitrust case against Google. You can read the full piece here.
“In a two-sided market, there’s no way to have one side without the other,” said Brian Albrecht, chief economist at the International Center for Law and Economics. “What you’re selling is a service that matches the two sides.”
…”These cases are going to set the landscape going forward on what we do about antitrust in tech companies,” Albrecht, of the International Center for Law and Economics, said. “They are especially important because of how big a role tech is playing right now and how big a role we expect it to play in the future.”
