In a decentralized market economy, to what extent are favorable or unfavorable changes in the business environment faced by firms passed on to consumers?  What factors determine the degree of such pass-through?

This academic question lies at the core of my research agenda.  I view it as central to a fundamental understanding of real-world economic issues, such as how goods and services are produced and consumed in terms of efficiency, how the gains and losses from economic changes are distributed, how public policies affect the incidence of these activities, and how prices move in the macroeconomy.  The field that centers on such questions is the "Economics of Pass-Through."

I am also considering the future of competition policy from the perspective of 'Market Management Policy' — a vision oriented toward the governance of markets that embraces both efficiency and sustainability.
