Biography

I am a competition policy expert with over 10 years of relevant experience, able to work on both the legal and economic aspects of competition. My primary comparative strength is that I am capable of capitalising on the synergies between two disciplines. I hold a PhD in Competition Law and an MSc in Industrial Economics both acquired at the University of East Anglia. At undergraduate level I acquired both my law and my economics degrees in Budapest, Hungary. Beside my academic achievements, I have several years of enforcement and policy analysis experience working for the Hungarian Competition Authority and for the OECD. I am a member of the ESRC Centre for Competition Policy at UEA.

Key Research Interests

My research is mapped around various topics in competition law and economics. In one of my most recent works I empirically analysed merger litigation strategies, looking at the determinants of firms' willingness to settle litigation, and the circumstances that may contribute to obfuscating evidence. In another paper I investigated the possibility of applying capture recapture (CR) methods to find out more about the detection rate of cartels. CR methods are widely used and have been rigorously developed in ecology and epidemiology for estimating population parameters such as population size, or capture and survival rates. This work has led to valuable estimates of cartel detection rates. I am also keen on studying various competition-related issues in the healthcare industry.

Teaching Interests

I normally teach the following modules: Business and Company Law, Legal Issues in Business, Marketing: Social Responsibility and the Law, however I am on study leave between July 2011 and January 2012.
