The University of Calgary’s Department of Economics has launched the Research Program on Competition and Regulation (RPCR), which will provide a bridge between academic research and policy challenges. UCalgary RPCR co-directors Jeffrey Church and Aidan Hollis say that they created the program in response to the way that regulation and competition policy have become untethered from their economic moorings. “Canada lacks a dedicated research program embedded within a university that focuses on the practice and policy of regulation and competition enforcement,” said Hollis. UCalgary says that this is the first program of its kind at a Canadian university.
