DESCRIPTION:Stefan Hunt (UK Competition and Markets Authority)\, “The Digit
 al Transformation of Competition and Consumer Agencies”\, Digital Workshop
 \, TSE & IAST\, June 22\, 2022\, 12:30–13:30\, Auditorium A4.\n\nOver the 
 course of the last decade\, the innovation and proliferation of digital te
 chnologies radically transformed existing markets and gave birth to new on
 es. Alongside this change the skills that firms need to compete shifted. C
 ompetition and consumer agencies similarly have expanded their capabilitie
 s to meet the regulatory demands of dynamic\, digital markets. ‘Technologi
 sts’ now work at most major agencies\, on cases involving data and digital
  markets and on innovating agency processes\; and most of these agencies h
 ave reorganised to have a dedicated specialist branch or unit. Bill Kovaci
 c\, former Federal Trade Commission Chair\, has referred to this technolog
 y-led transformation as ‘one of the top five developments in competition o
 ver the last three decades’. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) h
 as been an early adopter and its Data\, Technology and Analytics unit now 
 has almost 50 people – and growing – across the disciplines of data scienc
 e\, engineering\, technology insight\, behavioural science\, eDiscovery an
 d digital forensics. This paper highlights how the unit has brought value 
 to cases\, and it draws lessons for how similar units can succeed. It desc
 ribes five roles that technologists play in competition and consumer agenc
 ies and explains how their work contributes to cases\, drawing on concrete
  examples primarily from the CMA’s work. It also outlines the main issues 
 and design choices when founding a data and technology unit in an agency. 
 The paper concludes by considering how competition and consumer work will 
 be affected\, including a potential shift from the agendas of agencies bei
 ng mostly reactive and set by complaints\, to being proactive and increasi
 ngly set by pre-emptive data gathering and monitoring.
