The Competition and Tariff Commission of Zimbabwe has joined the Stanford Computational Antitrust project. Headquartered in Harare, the Commission enforces competition rules and reviews mergers in the country. The institution also promotes competitive market structures in Zimbabwe’s economy. Its participation expands the project’s engagement with African competition authorities. Participation by the Competition and Tariff Commission will contribute to the project’s collective knowledge on competition enforcement in fast-emerging economies.

“We are delighted to welcome the Competition and Tariff Commission of Zimbabwe to the project. Their membership strengthens our network’s reach across Africa and reflects a shared conviction that computational tools have a critical role to play in the future of competition enforcement. We look forward to collaborating closely with the Commission and to benefiting from its experience and perspective.”

Dr. Thibault Schrepel, Project Director, Stanford Computational Antitrust

As a member of the network, the Commission will participate in the project’s annual workshop, contribute to its annual report, and engage with the scholarly and practitioner community through the Stanford Computational Antitrust journal, the only peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the intersection of antitrust law and computational methods. The Commission will also have access to the tools and datasets shared across the network’s global membership.

About the Stanford Computational Antitrust Project

The Stanford Computational Antitrust project is hosted by CodeX – the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics at Stanford University and led by Professor Thibault Schrepel, Associate Professor at VU Amsterdam and Faculty Affiliate at Stanford. Launched in January 2021, the project brings together over 75 antitrust agencies and leading academics from law, economics, and computer science to explore how computational tools can advance competition enforcement. The project publishes the Stanford Computational Antitrust journal and organises an annual conference and workshop. The project receives no private funding.
