The 19-D workshop on "Regulation and Competition" is the follow-up to a series of informal workshops organized by City University of London. The previous sessions took place in London and this year IESE's Public-Private Research Center will host the workshop in Barcelona. It aims to bring together a group of researchers interested in regulation and competition. Several researchers will present papers, followed by a presentation and a short debate. Each paper presented will consist of a work in progress on theoretical and empirical issues concerning regulated industries.
