March 17, 2014

The deadline for papers for the OECD’s “Competition Policy Challenge No. 1” is March 31, 2014.  The competition, which was first announced late last fall and closes at the end of this month, was launched as the first in a multi-part competition policy paper competition, open to young researchers and PhD-level students.

The first paper topic is:

“CHALLENGE NO.1 Competition policy is about making business more competitive, whether through reforming government policies that restrict competition, or applying competition law against cartels and other abuses. How could competition policy affect the quality of life as measured by the OECD’s Better Life Initiative? How can competition policy help make the lives of citizens better?”

Winning papers from each of five consecutive competition policy related challenges will be published by the OECD, distributed and promoted on the OECD’s online platforms and a winning paper selected and OECD internship offered in the OECD’s Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs.

For more information and application details see: OECD Finance and Enterprise Affairs: Call for Papers.
