Algorithmen beeinflussen inzwischen nahezu jeden Bereich des täglichen Lebens. Davon umfasst ist im Besonderen die unternehmerische Preissetzung, die sowohl im Online- als auch im Offline-Geschäft zunehmend algorithmisch organisiert wird. Preissetzungsalgorithmen bieten den Unternehmen neue Möglichkeiten der Datensammlung und -auswertung, ermöglichen aber auch einen umfassenden Austausch von Preisdaten mit Wettbewerbern. Diese digitalen Preissetzungssysteme können im Hinblick auf das deutsche und europäische Kartellrecht problematisch sein. In Betracht kommt ein Verstoß gegen das Kartellverbot, wobei unklar ist, ob dieses in der geltenden Form ausreicht, um mit diesen digitalen Formen horizontaler Kollusion angemessen umzugehen. Diese Arbeit beleuchtet die Problematik ausführlich und bewertet verschiedene Konstellationen unter Berücksichtigung von internationalen wettbewerbsbehördlichen und gerichtlichen Entscheidungen.

This open access book explores law, politics, and inequality in fights against infectious diseases. Guided by a theoretical framework called "governing through contagion", the studies in this book analyse how past and present governments have tried to combat contagious diseases, such as the bubonic plague, cholera, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19. They examine how these governments used law and other technologies, including waste management, mask-wearing, quarantine stations, house inspections, and the burning of entire neighbourhoods, to achieve their aims of protecting populations and ensuring productivity. Although the studies recognise the power of the state, they simultaneously emphasise the active roles of technologies and creatures, drawing attention to the often-taken-for-granted workings of the non-human in public health governance. They also consider the implications of strategies of control on marginalised communities and democratic politics. Collectively, the studies in this book bring attention to the connections between COVID-19 responses by governments and their historical antecedents, shedding light on the role of capitalism, colonialism, and geopolitics in circulating contagions and the strategies used to control them.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
