Dr. Cooper authored Chapter 31, “Antitrust and Privacy,” which discusses the ever-increasing overlap between privacy concerns and antitrust laws.

Dr. Baye and Prof. Prince authored Chapter 33, “The Economics of Digital Platforms: A Guide for Regulators,” which provides regulators with an economic toolkit to use when considering certain conduct in digital markets.
