Assessment of the potential for cross-contamination of food products by reusable shopping bags David L Williams, Charles P Gerba, Sherri Maxwell, Ryan G. Sinclair Citations Soil, Water and Environmental Science (Scopus) Research output: Contribution to journal > Article Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the potential for cross-contamination of food products by reusable bags used to carry groceries. Reusable bags were collected at random from consumers as they entered grocery stores in California and Arizona. In interviews, it was found that reusable bags are seldom if ever washed and often used for multiple purposes. Large numbers of bacteria were found in almost all bags and coliform bacteria in half. Escherichia coli were identified in 8% of the bags, as well as a wide range ofenteric bacteria, including several opportunistic pathogens. When meatjuices were added to bags and stored in the trunks of cars for two hours, the number of bacteria increased 10-fold, indicating the potential for bacterial growth in the bags. Hand or machine washing was found to reduce the bacteria in bags by > 99.9%. These results indicate that reusable bags, if not properly washed on a regular basis, can play a role in the cross-contamination of foods. It is recommended that the public be educated about the proper care of reusable bags by means of printed instructions on the bags or through public service announcements.

Wright (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=466576) George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty Date Written: November 2, 2012 Recently, many jurisdictions have implemented bans or imposed taxes upon plastic grocery bags on environmental grounds. San Francisco County was the first major US jurisdiction to enact such a regulation, implementing a ban in 2007. There is evidence, however, that reusable grocery bags, a common substitute for plastic bags, contain potentially harmful bacteria. We examine emergency room admissions related to these bacteria in the wake ofthe San Francisco ban. We find that ER visits spiked when the ban went into effect. Relative to other counties, ER admissions increase by at least one fourth, and deaths exhibit a similar increase.

  • Merger Policy in Digital Markets: an Ex Post Assessment 3 Study Is to Undertake a Less Common Form of Ex Post Assessment
    Journal of Competition Law & Economics, 00(00), 1–46 doi: 10.1093/joclec/nhaa020 MERGER POLICY IN DIGITAL MARKETS: AN EX Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jcle/advance-article/doi/10.1093/joclec/nhaa020/5874037 by guest on 18 December 2020 POST ASSESSMENT† Elena Argentesi,∗Paolo Buccirossi,†Emilio Calvano,‡ Tomaso Duso,§,∗ & Alessia Marrazzo,¶ & Salvatore Nava† ABSTRACT This paper presents a broad retrospective evaluation of mergers and merger decisions in markets dominated by multisided digital platforms. First, we doc- ument almost 300 acquisitions carried out by three major tech companies— Amazon, Facebook, and Google—between 2008 and 2018. We cluster target companies on their area of economic activity providing suggestive evidence on the strategies behind these mergers. Second, we discuss the features of digital markets that create new challenges for competition policy. By using relevant case studies as illustrative examples, we discuss theories of harm that have been used or, alternatively, could have been formulated by authorities in these cases. Finally, we retrospectively examine two important merger cases, Facebook/Instagram and Google/Waze, providing a systematic assessment of the theories of harm considered by the UK competition authorities as well as evidence on the evolution of the market after the transactions were approved. We discuss whether the competition authority performed complete and careful analyses to foresee the competitive consequences of the investigated mergers and whether a more effective merger control regime can be achieved within the current legal framework.

  • Platform Mergers and Antitrust
    PLATFORM MERGERS AND ANTITRUST 6 2021 JANUARY 6 2 | ISSUE 01/2021 ISSUE 01/2021 | GEOFFREY PARKER, GEORGIOS PETROPOULOS AND MARSHALL VAN ALSTYNE WORKING PAPER PAPER WORKING Platform ecosystems rely on economies of scale, data-driven economies of scope, high-quality algorithmic systems and strong network effects that typically promote winner-take-most markets. Some platform firms have grown rapidly and their merger and acquisition strategies have been very important factors in their growth. Market dominance by big platforms has led to competition concerns that are difficult to assess with current merger policy tools. In this paper, we examine the acquisition strategies since their inception of the five major US firms – Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft. We discuss the main merger and acquisition theories of harm that can restrict market competition and reduce consumer welfare. To address competition concerns arising from acquisitions in big platform ecosystems this paper sets out a four- step proposal that incorporates: (1) a new ex-ante regulatory framework, (2) an updating of the conditions under which the notification of mergers should be compulsory and the burden of proof should be reversed, (3) differential regulatory priorities in investigating horizontal versus vertical acquisitions, and (4) an updating of competition enforcement tools to increase visibility of market data and trends. Geoffrey Parker: Dartmouth College Georgios Petropoulos: Bruegel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University Marshall Van Alstyne: Boston University We are very grateful to Aidai Kozubekova and Nicole Evans for their superb research assistance. The paper greatly benefitted from discussions with Erik Brynjolfsson, Luis Cabral, Avinash Collis, WORKING PAPER Maria Demertzis, Nestor Duch-Brown, Justus Haucap, Bertin Martens, Maciej Sobolewski, Tommaso Valletti and Guntram Wolff, as well as the seminar participants at Bruegel.
