Episode 37 - Eun Hye Kim - How Competition Law Really Changes: Empirical Legal Methods and Judicial Behaviour

<p>In this episode, Anush Ganesh and Ece Ban sit down with Dr Eun Hye Kim, Assistant Professor at the University of Leeds, whose research brings quantitative and empirical methods to the study of how competition law doctrine actually changes over time. </p><p>Fresh off winning Best Paper at ASCOLA 2026 for her work applying the Rasch model to measure incremental change in case law, Eun Hye walks us through her journey from doctrinal EU law to hand-coding thousands of judgments, her doctoral research on the Advocate General's role in shaping EU competition law, and what large-scale databases like IUROPA reveal about the hidden dynamics of judicial decision-making. </p><p>We talk about the pitfalls of empirical legal research, the underappreciated role of the Advocate General, and why competition law offers such fertile ground for studying how precedent really evolves.</p><p><br /></p>

Episode 36 - Filippo Lancieri - Private Enforcement, Remedy Design, and the Political Economy of AI Regulation

<p>In this episode Anush and Kena sit down with Dr Filippo Lancieri, Associate Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center, a Research Fellow at the Stigler Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and a Fellow at the ETH Zurich Center for Law and Economics. </p><p>Filippo&#39;s work moves between traditional legal analysis and causal empirical research to understand how governments shape markets and how markets in turn shape governments, with a particular focus on competition policy, technology regulation, and the political economy of market governance. Before entering academia he practiced antitrust and data privacy law in Brazil and the EU and advised governments on competition policy.</p><p>We talk through his research on remedy design in digital markets, including the compounded error cost framework he has developed for matching the aggressiveness of a remedy to how confident authorities are about the harm it addresses, and where private enforcement fits alongside public authorities in actually delivering redress. </p><p>We also explore the institutional divide between competition authorities and sector regulators, the risks of regulatory capture, and what lessons from decades of digital markets enforcement might carry over to the emerging and fragmented landscape of global AI regulation.</p>

Episode 35 - Sara Guidi and Linus Hoffmann - Interpretation of Competition Law and Remedies in the Digital Age

<p>In this episode, Anush Ganesh is joined by Sara Guidi, Lecturer in Competition Law at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, and a PhD Candidate at the European University Institute (EUI), Florence, and Dr Linus Hoffmann, Lecturer in Competition and Internet Law at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, who completed his PhD from EUI in 2025. Both have been supervised by Professor Nicolas Petit. </p><p>We engage on Sara&#39;s current work which discusses how competition law actually changes by being cognitively open to external factors but operationally closed. Sara walks us through the four-stage model of legal evolution, running from an initial state, through an evolutionary challenge, into a phase of experimentation, and finally to stabilisation. </p><p>We also touch upon her past work published in European Papers which argues that the DMA is really about controlling what gatekeepers can do with information, whether they can combine, withhold, rank, or display it in a particular way in light of whether competition law has shifted from regulating things to regulating information.</p><p>We also discuss Linus&#39; critical analysis of the split between structural and behavioural remedies under Reg. 1/2003. He argues that this split falls apart in digital markets and should be abandoned by using the duck-rabbit illusion. </p><p>Linus discusses this argument in light of past cases such as Facebook/ Meta (Bundeskartellamt) and Google Shopping where the the same remedy can be seen as either structural or behavioural depending on how one looks at it. Linus also shares his proposed rewrite of Article 7(1) of Reg. 1/2003 suggesting a uniform notion of remedies that focuses on the forms of private control over valuable assets .</p><p>The conversation also includes a lively discussion on simplification and complication of competition law to achieve the goals that are set out, and whether the age of the DMA requires viewing these concepts in a different light. The conversation provides cross-cutting insights for anyone keen to learn about how the interpretation of competition law concepts and remedies has evolved in the digital age.</p>
