Read Managing Director David Balan‘s article for ProMarket: Too Many Economists Are Using a Flawed Theory To Defend Dominant Platformsā€™ Self-Preferencing Practices.

The article takes a look at “the two major bills Congress is currently considering that would regulate ā€œself-preferencingā€ and related conduct by dominant digital platforms. Criticism of these bills is heavily influenced by ā€œSingle Monopoly Profitā€ theory, which purports to show that such conduct cannot be both anti-competitive and profitable. David J. Balan writes that the theoryā€™s shortcomings limit its validity in general and its application to self-preferencing in particular.”
