Too Long; Didn't Read
A decade ago I started my PhD at Oxford University to study cartelisation and market power in energy markets. I applied empirical methods from microeconomics to political economy and analysed pricing mechanisms and contracting relationships between producers and consumers in North America, Europe and East Asia. I collected data both from academic and commercial sources and worked with economists, political scientists, energy experts and policy makers. Expert interviews led me to various countries including to Russia, Turkey, Japan and Singapore.
