Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kerber

Meine Forschung  bezog sich seit langem auf die Wettbewerbspolitik, Innovationsökonomie, Evolutorische Ökonomie, Institutionenökonomie, Recht & Ökonomie sowie Europäische Integration. Seit 2015 forsche ich primär über "Regulatorische Fragen der digitalen Ökonomie". Dies führte zu Publikationen über Wettbewerbspolitik und Innovation (dynamischer Wettbewerb, Macht der großen Tech-Firmen, Digital Markets Act, IP-Recht), Recht & Ökonomie von Daten (Rechte an Daten und Datengovernance, Datenzugang/-teilung, Datentreuhänder, EU Datenpolitik, bspw. EU Data Act, und Datenschutzrecht / Schutz der Privatsphäre), Verbraucherpolitik, sowie das komplexe Zusammenspiel verschiedener Regulierungen in der digitalen Ökonomie.
