A Web of Paradoxes: Empirical Evidence on Online Platform Users and Implications for Competition and Regulation in Digital Markets

This lecture held by the University of Melbourne will present some of the main findings from a large-scale empirical study in which over 11,000 consumers from ten countries in five continents were surveyed about their use, perceptions, and understanding of online platform services. The study provides data that can inform evidence-based policy-making and enforcement choices in digital markets, in particular concerning competition and regulation therein.

Based on the empirical findings, the lecture that will be held on Tuesday, 16 November 2021 at 6.30 PM AEDT, will provide insights that can contribute to improving regulatory, enforcement, and policy solutions that are currently debated around the world with the aim of improving competition in digital markets.
