Yossi Spiegel

Yossi Spiegel serves as a Full Professor at Tel Aviv University's Faculty of Management, while holding Research Fellow positions at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW). He currently presides over the Israeli Economic Association and co-edits leading journals including the International Journal of Industrial Organization and Journal of Economics and Management Strategy.

His educational foundation includes a Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University (1991), preceded by an M.A. in Economics (1987) and B.A. in Economics and Accounting (1985), all from Tel Aviv University. Prior to academia, he spent three years as a technical staff member in the Economics Research Group at Bell Communication Research.

Spiegel's research centers on industrial organization with specialized expertise in regulation economics, antitrust policy, and corporate finance. His work examines how market structures affect innovation, consumer welfare, and competitive dynamics, frequently employing game-theoretic models to analyze real-world regulatory challenges. Recent investigations explore sustainability investments in production agreements and the mechanics of horizontal partial cross-ownership.

His publication record (2015-2024) reveals consistent focus on competition policy frameworks across theoretical and applied contexts. Key themes include market concentration measurement (HHI applications), predatory pricing dynamics, and consumer activism impacts - particularly evident in his analysis of Israel's cottage cheese market boycott. The 2022-2024 works demonstrate growing attention to sustainability-competition interfaces.

As co-editor of major industrial organization journals and leader of Israel's primary economics association, Spiegel significantly shapes scholarly discourse. His industry background at Bell Communications informs applied research perspectives, while his CEPR/ZEW affiliations facilitate European academic collaboration. Current projects appear oriented toward innovation regulation and sustainability-market power interactions.
