Economics Professors Become Members of the Competition Appeal Tribunal
Competition Minister Ed Davey today (7th January 2011) announced that Professor Gavin C Reid (Founder/Director of the Centre for Research into Industry, Enterprise, Finance and the Firm, CRIEFF) and Emeritus Professor John Beath (Secretary-General, Royal Economic Society), both of the School of Economics & Finance, have been appointed Members of the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT).This body of fourteen Members hears and decides appeals and claims arising from competition and economic regulation in the UK. The CAT uses a cross-disciplinary approach, drawing on expertise in economics, law, accounting, business, and cognate fields.
In announcing the fourteen new Members, Ed Davey, who himself was trained as an economist at Oxford University and Birkbeck, University of London, said "The Members I am appointing today represent a range of expertise gained at the highest levels of business, academia and the law".
The other economists appointed today were Professor Colin Mayer (Professor of Finance, and Dean of the Said Business School, University of Oxford) and Dermot Glynn (Chairman of Europe Economics, and formerly Economic Director of the Confederation of British Industry, CBI).
