ICLE Academic Affiliate Thibault Schrepel joined SCOPE Global Exchange to discuss about the draft EU merger guidelines and the need to make theories of harm testable. He proposes writing those theories down, dating them, and checking later whether their predictions proved correct. He also explains how computational tools can assess the draft’s consistency with past commission decisions and court rulings. Video of the full interview embedded below.
