Chillin'Competition

A colleague just congratulated me for an article included in an ebook that was recently published on Competition and Platforms. Interestingly, I did not know that the book was out nor that it included my piece!

In any case I suggest you download it and take a look. It’s sponsored by our friends at CCIA and edited by a former colleague Aitor Ortiz (now at Competition Policy International). It compiles a number of interesting pieces on multi-sided markets.

Mine (“The double duality of two-sided markets”) was initially written as a speech for the Pros and Cons conference in Stockholm and was later published in Competition Law Journal, so it is also multi-published and multi-used. Talk of multi-homing….

The ebook is available here. It features the following pieces:
