Cultural exception? Why regulating the book market contradicts conventional wisdom about competition Fixing retail book prices is a common policy in Europe, but how does preventing competition affect booksellers and buyers? Christos Genakos, Lorien Sabatino and Tommaso Valletti find that when the ability to offer customers lower prices is restricted, sellers shift towards competing on customer service and book variety - improving buyers' experience.

Competition-Friendly Industrial Policy Industrial policy, essential for addressing market failures, encounters concerns regarding protecting inefficient firms. We advocate for competition-friendly industrial policies, underscoring the complementary relationship between industrial and competition policies and the benefits of targeted sector-specific subsidies. We emphasize the significance of market competitiveness for sustainable industrial development, drawing from theoretical models and empirical evidence from China.
