13. MaCCI Law & Economics Conference

The 2024 edition of the MaCCI Law & Economics Conference will take place from June 20—21 at the ZEW in Mannheim. The focus of the conference will be on recent developments in merger control. Herbert Hovenkamp (University of Pennsylvania), Giorgio Monti (Tilburg University), Patrick Rey (Toulouse School of Economics), and Carl Shapiro (University of California, Berkeley) will give keynote lectures. The conference is organized by MaCCI members Jens-Uwe Franck, Volker Nocke, and Nicolas Schutz.

The Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation (MaCCI) is a research association of ZEW and the Faculty of Law and Economics at the University of Mannheim. MaCCI strengthens the exchange between researchers of law and economics and, thus, gives impetus in terms of competition policy, regulation, and innovation. It is our ambition to stimulate and disseminate research in the field of innovation policy, competition, market design, and regulation.

The MaCCI Law & Economics Conference is organized for the 13th time since the inaugural edition in 2011. The conference provides an international platform for exchange and discussion between academic researchers and practitioners in public authorities, legal counsel, and economic consultancies.
