He also initiated our work on competition and gender inequality, co-authored or work on wealth and income inequality, and led our work towards delivering a Recommendation on Competitive Neutrality. He has also led the revision of our Recommendation on Competition Assessment and produced guidance on protecting competition during procurement.
Prior to joining the OECD, Chris was Director of Competition Economics at the UK’s healthcare regulator (which had concurrent competition powers with the CMA) and spent three years advising the UK Competition Commission (predecessor to the current CMA). He has a Phd in Economics from the University of East Anglia in Norwich where he was a founding member of the Centre for Competition Policy.
