Paul Heidhues is a Professor of Behavioral and Competition Economics at the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics of the Henrich-Heine University. He is an applied theorist specializing in the fields of industrial organization and behavioral economics and is a member of the European Advisory Group on Competition Policy, the Arbeitskreis Kartellrecht of the Bundeskartellamt, and was a member of the Academic Advisory Board of the Competition and Markets Authority in the UK.
