SUMMARY:BCCP Conference and Policy Forum 2019 
DESCRIPTION:09.00 - 16.30  // Focusing on regulatory challenges in digital markets, in particular the rise of corporate power, the fourth annual Conference and Policy Forum of the Berlin Centre for Consumer Policies (BCCP) was held in Berlin on June 21st, 2019.   Touching upon an issue at the forefront of current European and US policy debates, more than 100 participants, including academics from law and economics, policy makers, professionals, BCCP Fellows, and the interested public came together at the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB). A remarkable body of economic research reports on the global rise of concentration and mark-ups across many markets and industries. The measurement of market power, the role of competition policy, and the potential need for regulatory intervention have moved into the spotlight, becoming core issues in current academic and policy discussions.  The conference panellists and participants discussed the road ahead for improving institutions and markets to curb corporate power for the good of society.
