I am currently an adjunct Associate
Professor in the School of Information at the University
of
Michigan and a Visiting Professor at SKEMA, located near Nice, France.
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.
My other
affiliations include the Sloan Industry Studies
Program and the State Center’s Panel of Economists. As a State
Center Economist, I
have assisted Attorney Generals from different states, including
California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York, on a
variety of antitrust investigations.
