W dniach 20-21 maja 2021 r. w Amsterdamie odbędzie się konferencja pt. "Should Wealth and Income Inequality Be a Competition Law Concern?".
Zagadnienia, które mają zostać poruszone w czasie wydarzenia to m.in.
- To what degree does market power actually contribute to inequality?
- Which market characteristics (e.g. monopsony power) may contribute to more, and which to less inequality?
- Which market practices (e.g. price discrimination) may bring about inequality and under which conditions?
- Would more active competition law enforcement lead to more equality?
- Should competition law be enforced more vigorously in labour markets?
- Are other policies such as fiscal policy not better suited to address inequality?
- If competition law is an appropriate tool to address inequality, how could concerns of inequality be integrated into the current paradigm, especially with respect to its emphasis on efficiency?
- Is the promotion of efficiency itself not enough to enable more equality?
- Do abrupt surges in inequality, such as the one caused by covid-19, necessitate temporary modifications to competition rules or/and their enforcement?
- How does inequality interact with other public interest concerns in competition law such as sustainability?
- What institutional obstacles exist to the integration of inequality into competition law enforcement?
- Would this integration require a revision of competition law’s deeper foundation and its economic constitutional embedding?
- Are there differences in any of these respects between the European Union, its individual Member States, and the United States?
