About the Competition Policy Center
The aim of the Competition Policy Center is to bridge the gap between academic analysis and policy formation. Inspiration for the CPC comes from the Berkeley faculty's extraordinary role in competition policy over the past decade.
Former Deputy Assistant Attorneys General for Antitrust at the U.S. Department of Justice include Professors Joseph Farrell, Richard Gilbert, Daniel Rubinfeld, Carl Shapiro, and most recently, Michael Katz.
Berkeley has a wealth of other faculty expertise and experience. Former FCC Chief Economists include Michael Katz, Joseph Farrell, and Howard Shelanski. Pablo Spiller was recently a senior advisor at the Federal Trade Commission. (See Faculty Participants). Other affiliated faculty include Professors Severin Borenstein, John Morgan and David Teece (Business), Bronwyn Hall (Economics), Aaron Edlin (Economics and Law), and Suzanne Scotchmer (Public Policy).
To facilitate their research and transmit those results to the world beyond Berkeley, the CPC has initiated an on-line working paper series, and sponsors conferences.
The Competition Policy Center is a research center within the Institute of Business and Economic Research (IBER). The CPC is located in F502, Haas School of Business.
