The project investigated the embracement and development of a free market economy in Poland following the fall of communism through the lens of Competition Law and Policy; it included in-depth interviews (with all former heads of the Polish competition agency, judges & practitioners) and the analysis of data and statistics (also secured via freedom of information requests).

I acted as a co-ordinator of the research project of the Centre for Antitrust and Regulatory Studies commissioned by the Polish Competition Authority (November 2015 to May 2016).
