Shaping Competition in the Digital Age (SCiDA) - Principles, tools and institutions of digital regulation in the UK, Germany and the EU

法律对经济的作用是提供使市场发挥作用的框架。当市场的逻辑发生变化时，法律将如何跟进？德国、英国和欧盟三个司法管辖区正在引入新的雄心勃勃的制度，以驯服数字守门人的力量，即Alphabet(谷歌)、亚马逊(Amazon)、Meta(Facebook)或苹果(Apple)等公司。尽管受到相似的规范目标的推动，德国、英国和欧盟采取了不同的方法来实现这些目标。在我们的研究项目《塑造数字时代的竞争(SIDA)》中，我们将从一开始就伴随监管举措，并旨在回答三个基本问题：1.记录变化：不同司法管辖区的新规则如何在实践中发挥作用？2.诊断进展：什么被证明对实现新规则的目标有效？3.发展概念：在数字时代，保护竞争的新规范和制度框架的要素是什么？

The role of law for the economy is to provide the framework that makes markets function. When the logic of markets changes - how does the law follow up? Three jurisdictions - Germany, the United Kingdom and the European Union - are introducing new and ambitious regimes to tame the power of digital gatekeepers, i.e. companies such as Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Meta (Facebook) or Apple. While motivated by similar normative goals, Germany, the UK and the EU take different approaches to implement these goals.In our research project "Shaping Competition in the Digital Age (SCiDA)" we will accompany the regulatory initiatives from the beginning and aim to answer three fundamental questions:1. Documenting Change: How do the new rules in the different jurisdictions work in practice?2. Diagnosing Progress: What proves effective for reaching the goals of the new rules?3. Developing Concepts: What are elements of the new normative and institutional framework for safeguarding competition in the digital age?
