Views

Intersection between the fields of international trade and industrial organisation, including the effect of international trade on the structure and performance of national markets and on industrial policy, the structure and behaviour of multinational enterprises, export-led growth of national industries and economies, and transnational comparisons of industrial organisation. Other research areas include the effects of regulation on industrial structure and behaviour, the consequences of resource commitments that create barriers to entry and exit, and the effect of market structure on the internal organisation and thus the behaviour of firms.
