Presenter
Jean Tirole, Toulouse School of Economics
Many businesses provide platforms on which consumers and businesses interact. Such platforms are particularly common in the digital economy, and their growing prominence has drawn the attention of researchers and regulators. In this keynote lecture at a recent NBER conference, Nobel laureate Jean Tirole of the Toulouse School of Economics reviews the economics of platform regulation, summarizes current regulatory policies in the US and Europe, and identifies key unanswered research questions.
