Abstract

Technological developments have introduced new methods of buying and selling goods and services. These advancements often times take the form of two-sided platforms. While these platforms increase overall social utility, they also present a host of challenges to antitrust enforcement. One such challenge is defining the appropriate market in cases involving actions that are not illegal per se. That task has been made more difficult with the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Ohio v. American Express Co. (“Amex”).2 Moving forward, one of the critical questions Amex presents is how to define the product market in the context of two-sided platforms.
