Publications
In 2020,he published a book on big tech companies in which he coined the term "moligopoly". The book suggests substantial levels of broad-based competition amongst some big tech firms inconsistent with findings of monopoly behavior. In her review,economist Diane Coyle wrote that the book is a "useful warning that we should think carefully and in detail about what harms we believe Big Tech is causing",and that it is "a distinctive corrective against the current tendency toward groupthink on this subject".[7] Petit predicted emerging competitive tendencies in the tech world distinct from the early perceptions used in the policymaking structure to advance law and regulatory reform towards digital platforms.
In 2017 the Global Competition Review (GCR) awarded him for "academic excellence".
In 2013 he was awarded the prize for the best law book at the French Supreme Court,moreover several of his papers have been cited officially in court.[2]
