Blockchain and Antitrust: The Case of Collusive Agreements

Much like characters that refuse to acknowledge the existence of a parallel society, antitrust authorities are unwilling to fully address blockchain technology. Using distributed ledger technologies, companies may collude more efficiently at the expense of consumers. In this talk, Dr. Thibault Schrepel will first present the implication of blockchain to antitrust law. Everyone—including blockchain beginners—are welcome.

Speaker: Thibault Schrepel, Faculty Associate at the Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and an Assistant Professor in Economic Law at Utrecht University School of Law.
