CV  (April 17, 2009)






I received my PhD  in Applied Economics from MIT’s Sloan School of Management in 1991.  Afterwards, I joined the Economic Analysis Group in the US Justice Department's Antitrust division in Washington, DC. While at DOJ, my responsibilities included the analysis of anti-competitive practices, mergers, and federal economic regulation.  During this time, I also served as an Adjunct Professor at American University. 

From 1998 to 2007 I was an Assistant Professor in the School of Economics at the Georgia Institute of Technology.  I am currently visiting the University of Michigan as an Associate Professor in the School of Information. 

My other affiliations include the Sloan Industry Studies Program and the State Center’s Panel of Economists, and (in the past) the National Research Council.  As a State Center Economist, I have assisted Attorney Generals in various states, including Califronia, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York, on a variety of antitrust investigations.

My research in the field of industrial organization currently focuses on the economics of digital information goods markets (with a particular interest in scientific publishing) and the implications of the online environment for competition policy.  This research has been published in various scholarly journals, including the American Economic Review, the Rand Journal of Economics, and Nature and has been supported by grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the NET Institute and the Open Society Institute.
