Stanford Computational Antitrust

In episode 38, Thibault Schrepel talks to Alvin Koh, Chief Executive of the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCS).
They discuss the creation of the Data and Digital division and the operational role of instruments such as the Complaint Analytics Tool and the AI Verify Toolkit in investigative prioritization and compliance assessment. They also explore the application of computational methods in major enforcement initiatives, including the Grab–Uber merger and the Price Transparency Guidelines, before considering the implications of these practices for the future of competition enforcement in Singapore and the ASEAN region.

In episode 37, Teodora Groza and Thibault Schrepel talk to Nuno Cunha Rodrigues, President of the Portuguese Competition Authority since 2023. They discuss the tools developed by the agency, how its lawyers work with economists and computer scientists, and the future of the field.

In episode 36, Thibault Schrepel talks to Nancy Scola, longtime technology and politics journalist & reporter.
Thibault and Nancy discuss stories that deserve more attention from computational antitrust researchers, how institutions adapt (or fail to adapt) to technological change, and how journalism and computational tools can complement one another. They also consider whether “computational antitrust journalist” could become a job description in the future, and other related topics.

In episode 35, Thibault Schrepel talks to Kamil Nejezchleb, Vice-chairman of Czech Competition Autority.
Thibault and Andy Kamil explore how the Czech Competition Authority is integrating computational antitrust into its daily operations. They discuss major cases in which such tools have played a role, the internal structure and expertise needed to support the shift to computational antitrust, the legal constraints imposed by Czech administrative and judicial review, and how the agency envisions the future of enforcement, from algorithmic remedies to cross-border data collaboration.

In episode 34, Thibault Schrepel talks to Andy Chen, Vice Chair (and Acting Chair) of the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission.
Thibault and Andy talk about how the TFTC uses computational tools in merger review, price monitoring, and cartel detection. Andy shares insights on the agency’s internal structure, the challenges of explainability, and how computational enforcement might reshape antitrust in Taiwan by 2040.
