   Deploying Network Analysis in Antitrust Law




      Yann  Guthmann,*   Adrien  Frumence,**  & Camille Hoogterp***





Abstract. The Digital Economy Unit of the French Competition Agency (FCA)
has developed a tool that identifies citations of the FCA's publications in its other
publications and represents the interconnections in a graph. This breaks new
ground in computational antitrust research by adding another powerful tool to this
field: network analysis. The paper first describes the method and data used to
create the graph to derive thought-provoking insights from the graph analysis.
Then, it presents a method to identify and measure impactful publications. Finally,
it introduces potential future research avenues in the field of computational
antitrust.








Yann  Guthmann is the Head ofthe Digital Economy Unit at the French Competition Authority.
