El Hadi Caoui
about

I am an Assistant Professor of Strategic Management at the University of Toronto, appointed at the Department of Management (University of Toronto Mississauga), and cross-appointed at the Rotman School of Management.

I am an economist specializing in Empirical Industrial Organization. My research interests include the estimation of entry models, auction models, and topics related to technology/IP and competition policy. I have worked on a variety of industries, including agricultural and natural resources, e-commerce and retail, telecommunications, and entertainment.

How to pronounce my last name? Sa-wee. The short version of my first name is "Hadi."
