Teaching:
Luke is interested in how firms compete with one another to sell their products to consumers. In particular, he is interested in the implications of such competition for market outcomes and whether policymakers can improve the competitive processes.
His research relates to both competition and consumer policy, and it covers the areas of collusion (where firms recognise that fierce competition is not in their mutual long-term interest), mergers (that can enhance or undermine competition by changing the structure of markets), and consumer behaviour (which affects the incentives of competing firms to sell products of high quality at low prices).
He also has an interest in behavioural economics and, to a lesser extent, experimental economics.
