Dina Hilal Srinivasan
Yale University
Researcher and Counsel
Description
Dina Srinivasan is a researcher, lawyer, and entrepreneur. She’s also a Fellow with the Thurman Arnold Project at Yale University. Most recently, Dina’s research and economic analysis of new, tech markets provided the foundation for government enforcement of antitrust laws against two of the largest market cap companies in the world. Her 2020 research, “Why Google Dominates Advertising Markets: Competition Policy Should Lean on the Principles of Financial Market Regulation“, explains how Google distorts electronically traded ad markets by engaging in conduct that lawmakers normally prohibit (e.g., conduct analogous to insider trading and front running). “The Antitrust Case Against Facebook”, published in 2019, laid out the correlation between privacy and economics. Congress called on the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to open an investigation; and in 2020, the Federal Trade Commission and a coalition of 48 Attorneys General filed actions against Facebook. Previously, Dina founded an ad technology company whose technology was acquired by a division of WPP, Kantar Media SRDS (NASDAQ). She spent four years as an executive at WPP. In the late 1990s, she founded iMSGu, a text messaging platform that allowed users to send messages across different mobile spectrum networks (CDMA, TDMA, GSM); the company folded in 2002. Dina holds a J.D. from Yale Law School, where she studied law & economics and was an Olin Fellow with the Kauffman Program in Law, Economics and Entrepreneurship.
