I was recently at the Higher Regional Court in D\u00fcsseldorf and followed a hearing \u2013 you may have read about it here<\/a>. As we were still standing in the corridors afterwards, an employee of the Bundeskartellamt asked me whether it would be back this year… And when I recorded our podcast “Bei Anruf Wettbewerb”<\/a> with Justus Haucap yesterday, he asked me on air <\/em>whether it would be back this year… and both of them had anticipating eyes. And of course! It will be back again! What?<\/em> More on that in a moment.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with today’s reason for big expectations: our visiting professor Ariel Ezrachi, <\/strong>whom we have borrowed from Oxford, will be speaking on artificial intelligence and antitrust law today at 7.15 pm at Schloss Mickeln in our forum. Tomorrow he will be a guest in our lecture series (2.15 pm in the Faculty of Law at Heinrich Heine University) and will talk about Digital Markets and Their Perils<\/em>. Everyone is welcome, but we would of course warn against a competition overdose<\/em>, to quote the title of a book by Ezrachi and his co-author Maurice Stucke.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now to the \u201cWhat?\u201d: From 1 December 2023, we will be offering an overdose of a different kind, which connoisseurs have been looking forward to for days: the D’Kart Antitrust Advent Calendar<\/strong><\/a>, guaranteed chocolate-free and therefore vegan, will open its doors. We will fight off any gatekeeper<\/em> standing in the way. In a world that is falling apart, we should at least preserve what apparently makes the eyes of competition lawyers and economists light up: 24 tidbits for all fans of competition. My team and I have come up with something for you this year, which has been a lot more work than we expected – but also a lot of fun! Just like last year, you have to take a quiz…<\/p>\n

If you can’t bear the tension until then, brew yourself a punch, chow down on a few cookies and take a look at how we’ve sweetened your end-of-year stress so far: for example in 2017<\/a> or 2018<\/a> or 2019<\/a>! If you’re now saying, hang on<\/em>, I can see the photos, impressive gallery, but not the texts, then unfortunately you’re right. (Everything would still be there in my paper archive! We now have our DKartJ repository here<\/a> for digital mishaps). The good news is that for 2020<\/a>, when our friends took you around the world, or 2022<\/a>, when you had to answer quiz questions, you can still find everything online! (We apparently overwrote 2021 by mistake).<\/p>\n

See you at the Ariel Ezrachi lecture, and if not, we hope you enjoy our Antitrust Advent Calendar from the day after tomorrow!<\/p>\n
