1. Platform Market Power Kenneth Bamberger & Orly Lobel
This is a very large project that is in its initial stages. Its goal is to frame the discussion within law about human capital, workplace mobility, restrictive covenants and employment IP disputes in a more sophisticated way than is currently the state of the law. This can be done I argue, with bringing in new interdisciplinary research about knowledge spillovers and the nature of innovation and R&D. moreover, the project builds on the dual aspects of law and science and adds a theoretical dimension about work.
