Imrecon

Imrecon's practice is focused on sectors where competition is not fully effective.  Imrecon advises policy makers on how to remedy the economic or other public policy detriments and other parties on how to inform the policy makers' thinking or on optimising their strategy for the resulting environment. 

An important class of remedies involves introducing competition or making competition more effective.  Imrecon provides support in the following areas:

• competition design
• market studies
• diagnosis of market dominance
• competition inquiries

Imrecon employs its core capabilities of business, sector and policy modelling, policy analysis and design to analyse the underlying economics of the sector, diagnose the roles of different participants in a market, identify the market's structure, analyse the dynamics of the market over time, inform the definition of the market, and simulate or otherwise assess the effects of different policy options.  Imrecon's approach to competition design is an engineering one, to structure the design around the underlying economics, structure of the value chain, characteristics of demand and business drivers, drawing from more than a decade of experience of modelling dynamic interactions between policy and economics.
