- Le 28 octobre 2019, 17h30-19h (MC 407) : Droit de la concurrence dans l’économie de partage
► Description de la conférence (en anglais) :
Professor Huffman will present on his research into competition law concerns arising in the context of the sharing economy, primarily including ride-sharing but also other markets. This topic will explore issues relating to enterprise structure and how that engages competition law rules, as well as the question of a labor cartel in the context of organization by independent contractors seeking better terms in their relationships with platform enterprises.
Recent work includes a much-referenced article, “The Sharing Economy Meets the Sherman Act: Is Uber a Firm, a Cartel, or Something In-Between?”, published in 2017 in the Columbia Business Law Review. This article was the basis for Professor Huffman’s 2018 presentation at the OECD Competition Forum on ride sharing. More recent research investigates the competition law landscape of ride sharing in India and questions of labor organization in ride sharing in the US, as well as invited work for the publication Concurrences.
