The Google Search Antitrust Case—Finding a Remedy that Helps Consumers

The District Court this past August found that Google’s agreements with Apple, Samsung, and other distribution channels constituted exclusionary conduct and violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act. In cases like this, however, finding a remedy that will improve consumer welfare is often the more difficult issue. The purpose of this panel is to discuss the benefits and costs of the range of structural and conduct remedy proposals that are under discussion.

Panelists include:
Ginger Zhe Jin, Neil Moskowitz Professor of Economics, University of Maryland
Randal Picker, James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law, University of Chicago
Lawrence White, Robert Kavesh Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University
Thomas Lenard (moderator), Senior Fellow and President Emeritus, Technology Policy Institute
