RPI Annual Competition and Regulation Conference 2011 – Trade-offs between complexity and simplicity in competition and regulatory policy
The RPI 20th anniversary conference.

The RPI 20th anniversary conference.

David Gray Lead Reviewer, Ofwat

This conference considered the consequences of potentially more prescriptive regulatory policy in the context of perceived regulatory and market failures.

In partnership with the ESRC Centre for Competition Policy UEA and sponsored by Hogan Lovells and Oxera.

The conference considered the perceived challenges arising from integrating competition with other policy objectives.

The general theme of this conference was major challenges at the competition/regulation boundaries arising from technological change and from environmental policy pressures.

The 2007 conference focussed on competition issues in markets that are, in one way or another, heavily influenced by sector-specific regulation.
