In this episode, Diana Moss sits down with Scott Hemphill, the Moses H. Grossman Professor of Law at the New York University School of Law, to chat about his award-winning article: Nascent Competitors (Vol. 168 (No. 7), Penn. L. Review, 2020). Hemphill co-authored the article with Timothy Wu, currently serving as Special Assistant to President Biden for Technology and Competition Policy at the National Economic Council. The article highlights major issues and debate around how antitrust enforcers and the courts go about evaluating acquisitions of nascent competitors that could violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. Nascent competitors are firms whose prospective innovation is a “threat” to firms in a market. This threat is neutralized if a nascent rival is acquired, sometimes with serious implications for competition and consumers. Attention to acquisitions of nascent competitors has exploded across a number of sectors, including digital technology, fintech, healthcare, digital farming, and others. For business models that are driven by “growth by acquisition,” revisiting antitrust enforcement and competition policy around nascent rivals is particularly timely and important.   Antitrust scholarship that is considered and selected for the Jerry S. Cohen award reflects a concern for principles of economic justice, the dispersal of economic power, the maintenance of effective limitations upon economic power or the federal statutes designed to protect society from various forms of anticompetitive activity. Scholarship reflects an awareness of the human and social impacts of economic institutions upon individuals, small businesses and other institutions necessary to the maintenance of a just and humane society–values and concerns Jerry S. Cohen dedicated his life and work to fostering.

How Should Antitrust Tackle Acquisitions of Nascent Competitors? A Conversation With 2020 Jerry S. Cohen Award Winner for Antitrust Scholarship, Scott Hemphill

I interview Prof. Scott Hemphill, Moses H. Grossman Professor of Law at NYU School of Law and co-director of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy. There aren't many human beings who would be a better expert to speak to regarding the various lawsuits in the real estate industry.We discuss the various class action lawsuits on commissions (Moehrl, Sitzer, Leeder, etc.) and what the issues are. We discuss REX v. Zillow as well as REX v. Oregon, which deals with the anti-rebate provisions in Oregon. We discuss policy as Prof. Hemphill is actively involved in policy discussions around antitrust, technology, and innovation.This was one of the most enjoyable and enlightening conversations I've ever had, and I thank Prof. Hemphill for his time and insights.
