Guillermo Marshall
Guillermo Marshall is Professor and UPS Foundation Chair in Regulation and Competition Policy at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business. An industrial organization economist, he combines theoretical and empirical methods to study how market structure, vertical relationships, and incentive design shape firm conduct and market outcomes. One strand of his research examines vertical integration and contracting between multiproduct firms, including revenue-sharing agreements, mergers, and wholesale price discrimination. A second studies the design of contests and tournaments and their use in innovation and energy conservation. A third develops identification strategies for empirical models, with work on auctions, scale and scope economies, and inference in incomplete models of firm exit. His research has appeared in the American Economic Review, Journal of Political Economy, The Economic Journal, and RAND Journal of Economics. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University and previously taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
