Here’s what’s happening this Thursday evening at the Auckland Uni Economics Group:
Competition is one of the most important ideas in economics. But what is competition? And how have economists defined it? Is it a certain state of a market or is it the behaviour of people within a market?
This week, we bring you a presentation by one of New Zealand's leading thinkers, Dr. Oliver Hartwich, the Executive Director of The New Zealand Initiative, on the fundamental economic concept of competition – and how so many economists get it so wrong.
Date: Thursday, October 9
Time: 6-7pm
Location: Case Room Two, Level Zero, Business School (OGGB)
(plenty of parking under the Business School, entrance off Grafton Rd)We look forward to seeing you there.
