Biography
Dr. Catherine de Fontenay received her PhD in Economics from Stanford University in 1998. Since July 2003 onwards she has been a Senior Lecturer at both the Department of Economics and the Melbourne Business School, at the University of Melbourne. Her two main interests are Development Economics and Industrial Organisation. One of her current areas of research is the effect of market power on interlinked markets in developing countries. Another area of research is theoretical: modeling the bargaining between firms with market power, and the effect of vertical integration on bargained outcomes. Her third area of research is empirical: developing estimates of the cost of having offices in several locations (such as a software development office in India), and the change in those costs as a result of the Internet, through revealed preference.
