Joseph Farrell U C Berkeley   Department of Economics 3880 U C Berkeley Berkeley, California 94720-3880 USA   farrell@econ.berkeley.edu   http://emlab.berkeley.edu/users/farrell/index.html   Biographical Sketch: After an English education starring R.H. Whittaker, Peter Neumann, Michael Atiyah, Jim Mirrlees and Joe Stiglitz, I moved to MIT in 1979. I had a bad years-long case of writer's block, and left the academic world for GTE Labs, but came to California in the late 1980s. I have been a professor at Berkeley ever since, but with two stints in the government: in 1996-7 I was Chief Economist at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and in 2000-2001 I was Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Antitrust Division, US Dept of Justice.   Primary Research Focus: Competition policy and antitrust, telecommunications, standardization, innovation   JEL Areas: L0 : Industrial Organization: General L4 : Antitrust Issues and Policies: General
