William C. Oehmig Associate Professor in Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise, Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tennessee
Experience & Areas of Interest:
Luke Froeb served as Director of the Bureau of Economics at the Federal Trade Commission for two years where he managed over a hundred civil servants dedicated to tearing down barriers to competition (often erected by well-meaning bureaucrats), in addition to enforcing the antitrust and consumer protection laws of the United States.
In July 2005, Professor Froeb returned to Vanderbilt University where he holds the William Oehmig Chair of Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise. Professor Froeb's research is focused on the economics of competition policy.
After receiving his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Wisconsin, he taught at Tulane University, worked as an economist at the U.S. Department of Justice, and then spent a year at the University of Chicago Law School before moving to Vanderbilt. When the antitrust agencies began using his merger models to predict whether mergers would raise price, people began reading the articles he had written. Professor Froeb now divides his time between teaching, writing, and consulting on management and antitrust issues.
