Behavioural economics and competition policy
Geoff Riley
12th August 2010
Here is a link to a recent research report from the Office of Fair Trading. It provides a very readable introduction to what behavioural economics is and then asks whether this emerging area of economic thinking can have useful applications in the shaping and handling of competition policy. Great for teachers who want to introduce some behavioural aspects into their teaching of competition policy issues in the UK and in other countries.
