Want to learn more about what’s next in anti-monopoly policy? Good news, we’re launching a new policy conversation series, “Beyond Antitrust,”
to talk about big ideas on how markets can be structured and regulated to be open and fair to all stakeholders. We will break down a big policy paper or idea, and encourage you to join in to learn, debate, and ask questions.
Our debut conversation will be on ensuring the effectiveness of the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which is a landmark piece of legislation and an important step towards building a resilient, domestic manufacturing base for the world’s most critical technology. Despite its goals, the CHIPS Act’s success could be hindered by longstanding market structure issues, industry monopolies, patent abuse, and a focus on short-term gains—which subsidies alone cannot overcome. On February 22 at 2:00 pm ET, join the American Economic Liberties Project for a 45 minute virtual policy conversation to discuss our new whitepaper, "Reshoring and Restoring: CHIPS Implementation for a Competitive Semiconductor Industry
." Learn about the complementary anti-monopoly and trade policies Congress and the Administration could enact to ensure the CHIPS Act’s successful implementation—ranging from directing subsidies to second-tier foundries rather than dominant overseas companies with US operations, to limitations on stock buybacks and dividends. Read the paper ahead here. |
