Two of our colleagues, Ian Thompson and David Sookias, have written an article for Competition Policy International that provides a “view from the UK” on the use of pricing algorithms. In the article, they focus on some of the potential economics concerns surrounding their use, namely: (i) the risk of increased collusion (both explicit and tacit); and (ii) personalised pricing – and some observations on how the use of algorithms may evolve in the UK competition space going forward. In addition, they review recent regulatory precedent in relation to pricing algorithms (both from the UK and the rest of the world), and relevant empirical literature that aims to quantify the impact of pricing algorithms in various markets.
