Jo Seldeslachts is a Professor of Industrial Organization at KU Leuven and a Senior Research Fellow at DIW Berlin, specializing in empirical industrial organization and competition policy with significant contributions to EU regulatory frameworks.
Her research focuses on Industrial Organization, Competition Policy, and Innovation Economics, examining how mergers impact innovation in pharmaceutical markets, ownership diversification effects on pricing, and state aid interventions. She employs rigorous empirical methods analyzing antitrust cases and industry-specific data, particularly in drug development and telecommunications sectors.
Recent publications reveal a consistent trend analyzing merger-policy deterrence effects and R&D dynamics, with emphasis on pharmaceutical innovation spillovers and broadband market regulation. Her work bridges academic theory and EU competition practice through collaborations with leading economists and policy-oriented outputs like VoxEU columns.
