With Professor Greg Taylor and Tania Van Den Brande

This episode of the OII’s The Human Interface podcast examines what happens to consumers, businesses, and innovation when a handful of tech giants come to dominate the digital markets we all rely on every day, and how regulators are working to keep that power in check.

Professor Greg Taylor, an economist specialising in digital markets and competition at the OII, is joined by Tania Van Den Brande, Senior Director of Digital Markets at the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.

They discuss why digital markets are particularly prone to entrenched market power, what the CMA’s new regulatory tools under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act mean in practice, and where the frontier of competition policy is heading next, from AI to global regulatory coordination.
