Digitalisation has brought several profound changes to a number of markets across all sectors of the economy. Our ‘Sectoral Challenges in the Digital Economy’ online course adopts a multi-disciplinary (mainly legal and economic) approach to provide you with expert insights into the challenges posed by the digital economy in a selected set of sectors, which constitute a core economic activity of Big Tech. Over six weeks, you will learn about competition and regulatory responses that have been and are being adopted by competition and regulatory authorities across a different set of jurisdictions with a focus on:
- Online advertising and search engine markets (Week 2, 7-11 June);
- Social networks (Week 3, 14-18 June);
- Sharing economy (Week 4, 21-25 June);
- Apps and videogames (Week 5, 28 June-2 July);
- Cloud computing (Week 6, 5-9 July).
Sector-focused weeks will be preceded by an introductory week (Week 1, 31 May-4 June), during which you will cover, at your own pace, the fundamentals of digital markets.
