Centre for Competition & Regulatory Policy

Welcome to the Centre for Competition & Regulatory Policy.

CCRP is a research-oriented centre that brings together academics and practitioners working in the areas of competition and regulation.

Our aim is to develop and disseminate research that can improve the functioning of regulated and non-regulated markets. To this end, our members are currently working in a wide range of relevant topics in competition and regulation. As part of our research programme, we are making available a set of Working Papers by Centre members.

Among other activities, the CCRP will also organise regular research workshops.
