Today's webinar is entitled "Dominant Firms and the Economy". Our speaker is Prof Thomas Philippon from New York University.

Firms like Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft seem to become increasingly dominant, and there is renewed debate about whether they have become "too" dominant. In today's talk, Thomas will present his work on dominant firms, discussing where and especially why they have become dominant, in the hope of making any welfare assessment about this phenomenon.
