  • Amazon's Antitrust Paradox
    LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible.

  • Spotlight on Public Finance
    Spotlight on Public Finance Fall 2016 Newslett er Featured Arti cle 1 Events 5 Practi ce Focus 3 Att orney Spotlight 6 Att orneys in Acti on 4 Did You Know? 7 FEATURED ARTICLE LEVERAGING PRIVATE SECTOR KNOW-HOW FOR SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC PROJECTS By Blakely Fernandez and Jane Macon Governmental enti ti es constantly struggle to address the competi ng demands of growing infrastructure needs, providing quality services and creati ng more economic growth opportuniti es, all while dealing with the reality of increased budget constraints. In the past decade, public-private partnerships (P-3s) have become a popular tool, at least in concept, to help governments balance these tensions. P-3s have been touted as the answer for infrastructure and services that governments don’t have the resources to address. But, any budget offi cer or other public offi cial who has looked closely at the private sector soluti ons knows that you never get something for nothing. The private sector might be willing to carry risk the public sector doesn’t want, or provide capital sooner than the public sector capacity allows, but these benefi ts come at a cost; and, someti mes, that cost is hard to measure. At the same ti me, there can be a real benefi t for early delivery of a project the public wants to see complete, and creati ng synergies with private development can build economic momentum, encouraging growth and investment beyond an initi al P-3. How then, does a public enti ty know when a P-3 is good deal? The fi rst and most important rule of thumb is that you can’t measure what you don’t understand.

    [Date tk] The Hon. William J. Baer Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Assistant Attorney General Baer: We believe that Amazon has gathered unprecedented market power over the world of books, which many experts have asserted make it both a monopoly in its role as a seller of books1 to the public and a monopsony in its role as a buyer of books2 from publishers. We believe Amazon has been misusing that power in many ways, and we seek the benefit of your office to address this situation. On its current course, Amazon threatens to derail the benefits of a revolution in the way books are created and sold in America. This shift was brought about by two broad innovations. The first is the e-book, the most dramatic new technology in publishing since the invention of the printing press. Because of the low cost of producing and distributing an e-book, many more authors now have the opportunity to self-publish, and millions of people can read books in formats that better fit their pocketbooks and preferences. The second advance is the e-commerce technology that makes possible on-line bookstores. This techonology has connected readers with a vast selection of physical books, including rare, obscure, and out-of-print volumes. E-commerce has also made it far easier for small publishers to reach customers around the world. Not only do these technological advances benefit our readers, they have revolutionized the way most of us research, write, edit, and publish our own books.

  • Amazon, E-Commerce, and the New Brand World
    AMAZON, E-COMMERCE, AND THE NEW BRAND WORLD by JESSE D’AGOSTINO A THESIS Presented to the Department of Business Administration and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2018 An Abstract of the Thesis of Jesse D’Agostino for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Business to be taken June 2018 Amazon, E-commerce, and the New Brand World Approved: _______________________________________ Lynn Kahle This thesis evaluates the impact of e-commerce on brands by analyzing Amazon, the largest e-commerce company in the world. Amazon’s success is dependent on the existence of the brands it carries, yet its business model does not support its longevity. This research covers the history of retail and a description of e-commerce in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of our current retail landscape. The history of Amazon as well as three business analyses, a PESTEL analysis, a Porter’s Five Forces analysis, and a SWOT analysis, are included to establish a cognizance of Amazon as a company. With this knowledge, several aspects of Amazon’s business model are illustrated as potential brand diluting forces. However, an examination of these forces revealed that there are positive effects of each of them as well. The two sided nature of these factors is coined as Amazon’s Collective Intent. After this designation, the Brand Matrix, a business tool, was created in order to mitigate Amazon’s negative influence on both brands and its future. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Lynn Kahle, my primary thesis advisor, for guiding me through this process, encouraging me to question the accepted and giving me the confidence to know that I would find my stride over time.
