Views

My early work was concentrated in the areas of economic growth and development, population economics, price theory and applied microeconomics, especially industrial organisation, including antitrust economics, public utility economics and the history of economic thought. Later on my interest began to focus on augmenting and incorporating microeconomics in the field of industrial organisation so as to explain and predict market structure, conduct (behaviour), performance and their interrelationships. I have been particularly active in recent years in theory formulation and hypotheses testing in a wide variety of antitrust and public utility economics areas so as to aid society in using its scarce resources more effectively in the formulation of public policy, In addition to writing numerous articles for professional economists, I have tried to keep non-specialists and non-economists informed about what is happening in antitrust, public utility, etc. areas.
