NextGen Antitrust Forum
Vertical Integration Revisited: Evidence, Theory, and Antitrust Policy
The GW Competition and Innovation Lab and NERA were pleased to organize the first-ever NextGen Antitrust Forum, a new platform for rising antitrust economists and lawyers interested in exchanging ideas, making connections, and taking part in discussions on current issues in competition policy.
The inaugural session focused on “Vertical Integration Revisited: Evidence, Theory, and Antitrust Policy.” The discussion looked at how empirical work and economic thinking shape today’s debates on enforcement and policy.
Speakers included NERA Senior Consultant Elena Ramirez Pierce, Latham & Watkins Counsel Francesca Pisano, RTX Director and Senior Counsel Elyssa Wenzel, and AT&T Senior Legal Counsel Amanda Norton, with NERA Director Emily Walden moderating.
