Section Description
Public economic law encompasses the statutes, regulations, and institutions that structure and govern economic activity. It includes the law of networks, platforms, and utilities (NPU law), antitrust and trade regulation, corporate governance and enterprise organization, labor law, tax law, IP, and administrative law. Together, these legal rules shape the production process and the distribution of wealth and power in our society. This colloquium brings six leading scholars of public economic law to Columbia to present works-in-progress in an academic workshop setting.
