This is a wonderful event that celebrates divers and important writing about a wide range of competition law matters and in that way increases the influence of thoughtful scholarship on the development of competition law in the U.S. and elsewhere. My work on the editorial committee has given me access to many articles that I would not otherwise have read and from which I have learned a great deal.

The Antitrust Writing Awards are a fantastic means of disseminating and encouraging the best competition law and policy research globally. They are one of a kind in recognising and awarding excellence in competition law and economics scholarship.

I am struck by the novelty of the topics and depth of the thinking. It is extremely important not only to reflect on the constant development in an area but also to push the boundaries and to question conventional wisdom if we must. It is extremely valuable to see the writing reflect not just the most up to date positions but also on the “what ifs” and the “alternative scenarios” of any situation because tomorrow may be different.
