CRA experts to teach course on the role of economics in competition law and practice at UCL

A team of experts from CRA's European Competition Practice, together with Dr Andrea Coscelli (Director of Competition Economics at Ofcom), will be teaching a course on "The Role of Economics in Competition Law & Practice" organised by the Centre for Law, Economics & Society at UCL. The CRA team is led by Dr Cristina Caffarra and includes Professor Damien Neven (former Chief Economist at the European Commission and Senior Academic Consultant to CRA), Dr Ugur Akgün, Dr Valter Sorana, Dr Hugh Wills, and Dr Hans Zenger.

The course will cover an introduction to microeconomics and industrial organization theory; as well as the application of economics to competition policy, including the analysis of market power, market definition, cartels and other coordinated behaviour, unilateral conduct including predatory and exclusionary practices, and horizontal and vertical mergers. The course does not require any previous knowledge of economics.
