Presentation
Massimo Motta is Research Professor at ICREA-Universitat Pompeu Fabra and at the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics. He founded the GSE's Competition and Market Regulation Program and is Scientific Director of this Master.
He served as Chief Competition Economist of the European Commission from 1 September 2013 to 31 August 2016.
Prof. Motta's main areas of research are industrial organisation and competition policy. His work, widely cited and influential, has been published in the leading international economic journals. His book on Competition Policy: Theory and Practice (Cambridge University Press, 2004) is the standard international reference on the economics of antitrust, and is used by lecturers, scholars, and practitioners. His new book on Exclusionary practices. The Economics of Monopolisation and Abuse of Dominance (Cambridge University Press, 2018) with Chiara Fumagalli and Claudio Calcagno, contains original research, case discussions and policy implications, shedding new light on this controversial area of antitrust. (The book was awarded the XI Premi of the Societat Catalana d'Economia for the best economics book in October 2019.)
He has extensive experience in advising competition agencies on cases and policy (he has been advising the South African Competition Commission, Chile's FiscalÃa Nacional Económica, the Portuguese Autoridade da Concorrência, and OFCOM, the UK's Communications regulator), in teaching competition policy (to lawyers, economists, agency officials, and in undergraduate, graduate, and executive courses) and in supervising doctoral dissertations. His former students have obtained important positions in academia, consulting firms, and in competition and regulatory agencies.
