By Jason Furman (Chairman, Council of Economic Advisers)
This is an expanded version of the author’s remarks at Searle Center Conference on Antitrust Economics and Competition Policy in Chicago on September 16, 2016.
In my remarks today, I will start by quickly reviewing some of the evidence for greater

discussing a few specific areas that the Administration is working on, with a focus on some of
the difficult questions raised by the rapid evolution of technology in recent years.
