My name is Jasper van den Boom (PhD, LLM). I am specialised in EU competition law and regulated sectors, I focus particularly on the regulation of digital markets. I am working as assistant professor EU competition law at Leiden University as well as affiliate in the project 'Shaping Competition in the Digital Age' (SCiDA) at Heinrich Heine University and the University of Exeter in the UK. Before this, I have obtained my PhD on the topic of regulating digital network industries at Tilburg University as a member of the Tilburg Law & Economics Center (TILT). I have also obtained my Master degree in European and Economic law at Tilburg University and remain an extramural fellow of the Tilburg Law & Economics Center (TILEC).

Over my career, I have published numerous articles and papers on digital regulation and the effectiveness of competition law, as well as co-authored a number of impactful reports such as the "TILEC report on the effectiveness of the abuse of dominance prohibition in the Netherlands" and "Recommendations for effective search remedies" with the Knight-Georgetown Institute in Washington D.C. My qualifications are mostly academic, but my work has often taken policy- or practice-oriented approaches. My accessible writing and presenting style helps me to translate complex ideas to short and understandable formats that clearly communicate the most important messages. I author blogs, record podcasts, and am currently writing a book on best practices in digital regulation together with the SCiDA team.

My work builds on a strong understanding of both the relevant laws and economics. I have worked in interdisciplinary research teams, and in early 2025 I have attended Yale University as a visiting researcher to work with - and following courses by - Fiona Scott Morton on competition economics.

I am available for consultancy, trainings and masterclasses on the Digital Markets Act and EU competition law in digital.
