The Future of Antitrust Series, an initiative of BYU Law School’s Global Business Law Program, fosters collaboration and constructive debate among a range of perspectives in contemporary antitrust law and policy. The series draws upon the research and practice experience of BYU Law School faculty and fellows, and it provides a forum for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners advancing the next generation of antitrust policy around the world. The series receives financial support from BYU Law School and Amazon.com, Inc. An unrestricted $500,000 grant from the latter provides funding for conferences and webinars, research fellows and assistants, proprietary data used for empirical research, and administrative costs.
