Research and commentary on competition policy and regulation in Canada.
The emphasis is on developing a dialogue between policymakers, practitioners, and academics to improve the practice and policy of competition law enforcement and regulation. We will develop a network of engaged researchers and practitioners whose understanding and research agenda are informed by the concerns and needs of industry, regulators, and governments.
Key to the impact of the RPCR will be timely commentary on policy issues, as well as competition and regulatory cases in Canada.
Unique educational programs that allow for the development of expertise in regulatory economics and competition policy.
Unique educational programs that allow for the development of expertise in regulatory economics and competition policy. The anticipated programs include:
Continuing and expanding the Department of Economics’ Summer Internship in Regulatory Economics (SIRE): The SIRE program dates from 2000 and has proven to be a launch pad for a career as a professional economist. SIRE involves a carefully curated suite of courses and research experiences that develop expertise in industrial organization, competition policy, and regulatory economics, followed by a four-month paid internship.
Conferences: The RPCR will host conferences that will feature both industry and academic views on developments, issues, and challenges in regulatory economics. The intersection of academic study and analysis with industry is an important value added.
Professional Education: The RPCR will mount courses in regulatory issues, process, and economics intended for employees of regulated companies and regulators. These professional education courses are in the development stages and are anticipated to be offered in the next year to two years.
