Celebrating a pioneer of energy regulation
The Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG) held a celebration of the work of Stephen Littlechild, a leading economist in the field of markets and regulation, featuring papers from some of his many colleagues within the UK and internationally. The 24-25 March seminar featured 10 papers on subjects which highlight Stephen’s varied contribution to the academic literature, including: ‘The Evolution of Price Control Regulation’, ‘The Role of Benchmarking in Incentive Regulation’ and ‘The Impact of Grid Defection on Economic Regulation during periods of Significant Cost Escalation’.
Research from Cambridge Judge Business School has been instrumental in developing a new system of energy market regulation.
