Reihe: Advanced Studies in Diginomics and Digitalization

The digital economy is reinvigorating regulatory competition, yet little is known about which rules and jurisdictions can effectively bind companies nor what competitive motivations underlie certain rules. In addition to purely economic motives, legislators are now also driving the pursuit of digital sovereignty and the enforcement of social values in digital spaces. It also remains unclear what regulatory weight the self-regulation of private companies has in multi-level governance systems. This book examines regulatory competition in the three main pillars of digital markets: artificial intelligence, data, and platforms. It brings together legal scholars, economists and information systems experts, providing relevant examples and structured analysis of the aims and outcomes of regulatory competition in the digital economy.
