Abstract

The growing role of global digital players with innovative business models is shaking up traditional markets. Does the digital economy constitute a fundamental break with the industries of the past? In theory, the economic principles underlying competition policy still stand. But given the acceleration of network effects and the use of vast quantities of personal data, competition authorities must adapt their control tools and improve their digital skills. La montée en puissance d’acteurs numériques mondiaux avec des modèles d’affaire inédits bouscule les marchés traditionnels. L’économie numérique constitue-t-elle une rupture fondamentale par rapport aux industries d’hier ? En théorie, les principes économiques qui sous-tendent la politique de la concurrence ne sont pas remis en cause. Mais la rapidité des effets de réseaux et l’utilisation de grandes quantités de données personnelles doivent pousser les autorités de la concurrence à adapter leurs outils de contrôle et renforcer leurs compétences numériques.
