Call for papers: Should Wealth and Income Inequality Be a Competition Law Concern? (Amsterdam, maj 2021 r.)

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? 
Zgłoszenia (abstrakt o objętości min. 1500 słów) należy przesyłać do 31 stycznia 2021 r. na adres j.broulik@uva.nl.
