Competition Among Multiproduct Platforms

Luke FROEB


Froeb Luke served as Director of the Bureau of Economics at the Federal Trade Commission for two years where he managed over a hundred civil servants dedicated to tearing down barriers to competition (often erected by well-meaning bureaucrats), in addition to enforcing the antitrust and consumer protection laws of the United States. Professor Froeb's research is focused on the economics of competition policy. After receiving his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Wisconsin, he taught at Tulane University, worked as an economist at the U.S. Department of Justice, and then spent a year at the University of Chicago Law School before moving to Vanderbilt. When the antitrust agencies began using his merger models to predict whether mergers would raise price, people began reading the articles he had written. Professor Froeb now divides his time between teaching, writing, and consulting on management and antitrust issues..
