Paper Title
The War of the Words: An Antitrust Investigation of Amazon.Com
Abstract
Antitrust probe of digital industries has drawn public attention. While Apple and Google just received their
rulings, Amazon is likely to be the next target of antitrust investigation. This study analyzes the major allegations against
Amazon from an economics perspective. The result shows that most allegations are groundless. However, the allegation
regarding free speech and search bias, which can be extended from Amazon to other dominant online platforms, warrants
future research.
