Giovanna Massarotto
Massarotto’s scholarship focuses on how technology affects society and the intersection of law, economics, and computer science through antitrust and regulatory law. She is an active scholar and author of Antitrust Settlements: How a Simple Agreement Can Drive the Economy, published by Wolters Kluwer, and also co-author and editor of two forthcoming books with Cambridge University Press on antitrust and regulatory policies in the digital economy. She has published multiple articles that investigate antitrust and regulatory issues related to digital markets, blockchain, AI and software, including forthcoming articles in Ohio State Law Journal and UC Irvine Law Review. She is invited regularly to present her work internationally, including at Stanford, the University of Chicago, Harvard, and the University of Oxford. Massarotto primarily teaches courses in antitrust and law and technology. Before arriving at Penn, Massarotto was a visiting research fellow at Fordham University in New York and then worked in Washington, D.C., for an economic consulting firm specializing in intellectual property law, economic regulation, and antitrust in the telecommunications and high-tech industries. She taught as an adjunct professor for the University of Iowa Tippie College of Business and Bocconi University, and is an affiliate of the University College London Centre for Blockchain Technologies (UCL CBT). Massarotto attained her PhD at Bocconi University in Milan. Her book ‘Antitrust Settlements–How a Simple Agreement Can Drive the Economy‘ presents the antitrust consent as a tool to combine law, economics and computer science in both U.S. and EU jurisdictions. In addition to the book, she has published multiple articles that investigate antitrust and regulatory issues related to blockchain, digital markets and software.
