🎙️ New Episode: The final Shaping Competition in the Digital Age (SCiDA) podcast of 2025 is here!

We are delighted to share Kena Zheng and Anush Ganesh’s conversation with our very own founder Dr. Behrang Kianzad, on a question at the heart of modern competition policy: should fairness matter in antitrust?

In this episode, Kena Zheng and Anush Ganesh explore Behrang’s fascinating work on the ’Neo-Kantian’ approach to competition law, challenging the efficiency-focused orthodoxy that has dominated antitrust thinking for decades.

They discuss:

⚖️ How fairness concepts in the DMA compare to traditional Article 102 TFEU

🧠 What behavioural economics tells us about human preferences for fairness

📱 The Meta/Facebook case and regulatory convergence between GDPR and competition law

🤖 Whether fairness can apply to AI-driven algorithmic pricing

🦠 Lessons from COVID-19 price gouging responses across the EU and US

As the DMA, AI Act and Data Act embed fairness norms into digital regulation, Behrang’s research offers essential insights into where competition law is heading.
