Programme information
The Competition and Regulation track will train you in the analysis of market arrangements. It will provide you with the skills needed to analyse the behaviour of firms and to monitor the effects of competition laws and regulatory policies. There are two major features of competition policy:
1. to look for unlawful behaviour, such as the abuse of dominance, collusion, merger control and so on, and how this affects competition
2. to shape the market and influence its conditions, such as through the auction of licences. For example, telecoms firms compete for licences; competition policy makers decide how many to issue in order to retain competitiveness
What will you learn?
This track will give you the skills necessary to apply analytical methods to the strategic decision-making process, not only in the world of competition policy, but also in business management and regulation in general. You will gain access to constructive criticism from legal institutions during your courses.
At the end of the track, you will be able to:
• use your ‘toolkit’ to perform and improve competition policy analysis and judgements
• analyse competition policy in order to be able to 1) assess its effects and 2) propose improvements
