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.

My research is concerned with applied problems in Industrial Organization. I combine methods from econometrics and game theory to study firms' strategic choices (entry, location, innovation, pricing) in dynamic environments, and how these choices affect long-run market structure and welfare. I am also interested in auction and procurement markets and competition policy.

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