You will be able to contribute to these competition and regulatory cases in a variety of ways from day one, working closely with more experienced colleagues to understand the issues at stake, relate these issues to economic theory, and in particular supporting the analysis with robust empirical evidence based on relevant statistical and econometric analyses.
