Chillin'Competition

The GREDEG-CNRS, OFCE and Gis LARSEN organize this Friday in Nice (France) a high level workshop on competition policy and regulation in the electricity sector. See programme below. Frederic Marty (GREDEG and CNRS) has invited me to talk about collective dominance.

I seize this opportunity to indicate that one my three research projects this year will consist in trying to apply the findings of my Phd on Oligopolies, Joint Dominance and Tacit Collusion in a sector-specific, empirical, fashion. My first target is the energy sector (electricity and gas). My assistant, Norman Neyrinck, and I, are currently drafting a paper on this. I have one or two ideas re. next targets, but it is too early to tell. Stay tuned.
