Large Online Platforms as a Challenge for Competition Law Doctrine and a Suitable Polygon for Complexity-Minded Antitrust
Original language description
The traditional competition protection target values of the last decades, i.e. higher efficiency producing consumer welfare, are supplied by the hegemons of the dig-ital world and their online service ecosystems without the classic existence of ri-valry of multiple direct competitors in the same relevant market. Large online platforms seem to be efficient and appreciated by users even without fair competition in contestable markets. The chapter takes this paradox as its starting point. It briefly ex-plains it and focuses on the possibility of its solution offered by the paradigmatic shift from models taken from neoclassical economics to the economics of com-plexity and the complexity-minded antitrust derived from it. It seeks to analyse, from a competition law perspective, the key concept of uncertainty, which should take the place of rivalry as the central criterion of functioning competition and its protection. It then turns to the question of how an antitrust that both starts from and works towards the existence of uncertainty would perform in practice.
