Gender and Competition Law

On 3 May 2024, Natalie Harsdorf-Borsch (Director General of the Austrian Federal Competition Authority) and The Competition Law Hub’s Vicky Robertson discussed the extent to which gender can and needs to have an influence on competition law enforcement. They touched on the OECD toolkit for gender-inclusive competition law as well as on the JECLAP & WuW editorials highlighting gender-based misconduct in competition law academia. A further topic was gender-based algorithmic pricing (find Vicky’s recent contribution here) and its status under competition law.
