My professional interests are in applying economic, financial and strategic analysis to institutional and performance problems. I combine concepts from economics and strategic management disciplines to investigate issues on industry analysis, institutional concerns, firm behavior and economic performance. My conceptual analyses are combined with the use of contemporary econometric techniques and data analysis to generate appropriate results and useful strategic conclusions.
I publish in the areas of competition policy, industrial organization economics, law and economics, international business, regulatory economics and technology strategy. I write on the Indian economy, emphasizing institutional concerns, industrial growth issues, the liberalization phenomenon, business strategies, corporate finance and corporate performance.
My expertise is in applying empirical methods to competition policy, competitive strategy, digital business model, and institutional and regulatory issues, and on:
* Evaluating the competitive effects of mergers and acquisitions
* Assessing the likelihood of and reactions to entry
* Analyzing competitive strategy in platform businesses
* Developing strategy models for the digital economy
* Analyzing issues of competition policy and property rights
* Evaluating institutional and incentive problems
* Evaluating responses by firms to regulatory transitions
* Analyzing production and competition structure in network economies
* Analyzing business scope and structural separation issues
* Productivity and efficiency evaluation and industry bench-marking.
My contextual expertise lies in assessing the economic effects of how regulations, strategies and technological developments impact digital markets.
My articles range across topic areas, such as competition policy, competitive strategy, corporate finance, cost structure analysis, economies of scale and scope, efficiency and productivity analysis, foreign trade and investment, mergers, organizational form analysis, ownership, privatization, property rights, research and development, technology diffusion, incentive regulation and vertical integration.
