Richard is a PhD candidate in Marketing Science at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. His research focuses on the complexity of competition in retail markets and its implications for market outcomes. He makes use of both empirical and analytical methods. In July 2024 Richard will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Marketing Department at the National University of Singapore.
Prior to graduate school, and on occasions throughout, Richard worked as an analyst with several top economic consultancies in Sydney, Australia -- initially HoustonKemp Economists, and then CRA International and the boutique outfit Endgame Economics. In these positions Richard produced analyses supporting expert testimony in commercial litigation and advice given on the economic regulation of natural monopolies.
Richard’s analysis has been presented to competition and energy regulators in Australia and New Zealand, as well as being relied upon in matters before Australia's Supreme, Federal and High Courts, the Australian Competition Tribunal, and in dispute settlement proceedings before the World Trade Organisation.
