Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies price-fixing cartels and antitrust economics, focusing on how illegal collusion among firms affects prices, profits, and penalties across different countries and industries, including agriculture and food markets. Much of the work involves building large datasets on international cartels and analyzing overcharges (the extra amount customers pay due to collusion) to inform legal and policy debates. The research often intersects with legal proceedings, including expert commentary and amicus briefs submitted in court cases.
