Welcome
to the Centre
for Regulation and Market Analysis (CRMA)
About the CRMA
The Centre for Regulation and Market Analysis (CRMA) is a university-supported research centre within the School of Commerce, whose research spans regulatory and other applied microeconomic and macroeconomic topics in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and Canada.
At the core of the CRMA's research focus is the analysis of the operation of markets. The Centre's research examines factors affecting market competition; the regulation of markets; the protection of consumers within markets and; the legislation that shapes and influences market outcomes.
A key aspect of the work of the CRMA is examining the
institutions and policies that affect market efficiency and equity,
regardless of the type of market or its location. Within this broad
framework a number of key research themes are pursued by Centre members
including, but not limited to:
-competition;
-regulation (macro and micro);
-criminal justice & jurisprudence;
-consumer protection;
-health economics;
-water markets research; and
-business history.
The CRMA membership comprises academics from the
Schools of Commerce and Law, postdoctoral research fellows and PhD
candidates.
In addition to its prime focus on academic research and high quality
publications, the CRMA provides advice to governments, regulatory agencies,
lawyers and firms in Australia and beyond.
Opportunities for researchers
The CRMA is looking for dynamic individuals to undertake research into the
operation and regulation of markets. The Centre is part of the School of
Commerce in the EQUIS-accredited Division of Business. The Centre is
expanding its operations, and is looking for qualified and energetic
individuals to work with us. Recent PhD graduates in economics, law,
regulation or business history are particularly encouraged to contact us,
but graduates from other relevant disciplines are also welcome. Subject to
suitability and resource availability, we will consider a wide range of
engagement, from international exchange, or short-term visits, up to
full-time appointments for a maximum period of two years.
