Abstract

E-commerce may prove a double-edged sword for antitrust enforcement. While the internet massively increases the potential size of the relevant market for any antitrust investigation, thereby reducing the need for antitrust activity, it also opens firms up to protectionist uses of antitrust by foreign authorities using an economic effects rule for jurisdiction. An origin-based policy of regulation is recommended.
