I have 10 years of experience in the field of economics, with specific knowledge of antitrust, intellectual property and advertising. I have published on such topics as ownership concentration in newspaper markets, the effect of the Internet on daily newspapers and the effect of television advertising on the decline of local breweries. I am an applied empirical economist whose research has centered on the economics of media markets, considering such topics as the effect of new information technology on demand for traditional media and the role of ownership concentration in generating product variety. My research also documents ways that media affect consumer and producer behavior outside of media markets themselves, such as the effect of new technology on local brands.
