The continued and rapid growth of E-commerce has generated questions about its consequences for society, business, and the global economy. The USC Marshall Initiative on Digital Competition is a research center based at the USC Marshall School of Business that focuses on analyzing and understanding the effects of digital technology on competition and markets.

The initiative brings together leading faculty, policymakers, industry practitioners, and USC students to conduct research, host events, and engage in discussions related to e-commerce and policy. Students can work with faculty and staff on research projects related to digital competition, gaining valuable experience in research design, data analysis, and policy analysis. By working with faculty, students gain knowledge that goes beyond their in-classroom education on a wide range of topics, including antitrust enforcement, platform regulation, and data privacy. They utilize software such as Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERPS) to assess if finance, procurement, project and risk management, compliance, and supply chain operational inputs are cohesive in the components of the digital economy such as digital payment systems, blockchain transactions, and Web 3.0 platforms.
