@TheisMagelssen Jesus herrada kan vel fort få til noe bra på den avslutningen og ta noen hundre poeng på sammenlagt-plasseringen?

Bottomline:
1) It went up overall;
2) It went up in every country, and in every industry;
3) Especially so in industries that matter for antitrust enforcement.

Everything you always wanted to know about industrial concentration in Europe over the past 20 years.

Joint work with Gábor Koltay and Szabolcs Lorincz @EU_Competition, forthcoming @OxUniPress.

So... what happened to concentration? 1/2

@KongelstadJ Agreed. ESA got there already @eftasurv https://t.co/t0wcIW9KJh

[Tomaso Duso @tomaso_duso]

The new US merger guidelines aim to address the problem of merger policy underenforcement -which I believe to be real- by returning to stronger structural presumptions. Regardless of whether they will achieve their goal they are the biggest shift in US antitrust policy in decades

[Justus Haucap @haucap]

“I don’t think we need more (allegedly) sophisticated economics when it comes to policy, because we create a big mess,” the “orthodox yet progressive economist” @TomValletti tells @BruxConf2023

[Konkurransetilsynet @ktilsynet]

EU vurderer å lempe på statsstøttereglene. Da er en effektiv konkurransepolitikk viktigere enn noen gang, skriver @Konkurransedir og @hp_hanson i @DN_no i dag. https://t.co/SG5cpund6k

[János Allenbach-Ammann @JanosAllAmm]

In autumn, @EU_Competition published new guidelines allowing collective bargaining for solo self-employed people. Some of the first ones to use it are Brussels translators. @SilviEllena reports for @EURACTIV. https://t.co/FtB4Cv37GC

Utvidelsen nordover bør komme raskest mulig. Den må gå over Bryggen, og da bør riksveien der fjernes. (Kanskje motstanden mot dette dempes hvis bergenserne snart forstår at verden utenfor Bergen ikke er så veldig imponert over denne husklyngen.) 7/7

[BECCLE @BECCLEtweets]

The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write.

In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text.

The pen is mightier than the spoken word.

#ECJ #AG Kokott : suggests that #EUGeneralCourt judgment annulling @EU_Commission decision concerning the incompatibility of @O2 's acquisition project by @ThreeUK with the #EUMergerRegulation should be set aside and referred back for a new ruling 👉 https://t.co/ATb3CgtqoO

[Hans-Petter Hanson @hp_hanson]

Skriver i @DN_no i dag om hvordan konkurransepolitikk fører til omfordeling. Eller som @vestager sa forleden om arbeidet til europeiske konkurransetilsyn: «We don't often think of our work in terms of social policy, but in fact that is what it is»

Interessant kronikk av @OleAndreasNaess om lobbykamp og frie markeder: https://t.co/36EWknEw7m

Forskning viser at for stor politisk makt gjennom lobbying kan forhindres ved aktiv konkurransepolitikk: https://t.co/MbJkEizl80
