Cornerstone Research professionals will present on panels on the first day of this three-day American Bar Association (ABA) conference.
“Be on the Lookout: Surveillance Pricing” – Gabriela Antonie, Cornerstone Research
Dr. Antonie will discuss the Federal Trade Commission’s 2024 6(b) study on surveillance pricing, which has prompted renewed interest in the topic. Demographics-based and individualized pricing can be anticompetitive, but also offers pro-consumer benefits, allowing individuals access to goods and services from which they might otherwise be excluded.
This debate-style panel, featuring a practitioner and an economist on each side, will explore the balance between anticompetitive concerns and potential consumer benefits.
Presented by the AI Task Force and the Privacy & Information Security Committee
“Future of Antitrust: Is Consumer Welfare Dead?” – Robert Majure, Cornerstone Research
Dr. Majure will join antitrust attorneys to discuss the continued viability of the consumer welfare standard for the 21st century, examining recent enforcement, case law, and the merits of alternative antitrust policy approaches.
Presented by the Legislation and Unilateral Conduct Committees
The conference is hosted by the ABA’s Section of Antitrust Law. For more information, visit the event website.
