**Affirmed position.** Transaction cost economics: Lessons from past reforms and potential for the digital economy should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that If Forum Competition between the United States and Europe expands, the acceptable outer bounds of jurisdictional competition may eventually have to be defined by treaty or other multilateral agreement. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through algorithmic regulation, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- depends on future expansion of Dutch and other non-U.S. jurisdiction
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: ambiguity triage before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
