Congressional report cites Yale SOM faculty
A high-profile congressional report on anti-competitive behavior by major technology firms repeatedly cites research and congressional testimony from Yale SOM faculty members and affiliates. “Investigation of Competition in Digital Markets,” a staff report from the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law, was released on October 6. It concludes that Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google have created harmful monopolies and recommends legislative action and reform.
The report cites research and testimony by Fiona Scott Morton, Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics and founder and director of the Thurman Arnold Project at Yale; and research by Florian Ederer, associate professor of economics, and Song Ma, assistant professor of finance. It also cites research and testimony by Dina Srinivasan, a fellow of the Thurman Arnold Project.
