Labor Market Guardian: How Can Antitrust Ensure Fair Competition on Labor Markets?

Abstract

In recent years, the focus of both academia and competition authorities in competition law has been shifting quickly. Going beyond their traditional roles as defined on the basis of the 1980s post-Chicago paradigms, regulators, economists, and lawyers are increasingly examining whether and to what extent competition law can address new and pressing issues like the climate crisis, welfare distribution/inequality, or the labor market.
