Amit K. Gandhi
Amit K. Gandhi is a Ph.D. recipient in Economics (2006) and received his MBA
from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. He is currently
Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
His research interests include the application of Game Theory to the analysis
of Industrial Organization and competition policy. He has developed an
algorithm to analytically solve the equilibrium in markets where firms compete
in several strategic dimensions, such as media markets where firms compete
both in advertising and programming choices. This research provides new
insight into media merges.
Gandhi has served as a special consultant to the Federal Trade Commission
on how to incorporate non-price dimensions of competition into their merger
analysis.
