Research interests

Pablo's work focuses on competition law and economic regulation (in particular, communications regulation), and, more generally, he has an interest in the economic analysis of law. His doctoral dissertation examined how competition law, communications regulation and national media regimes overlap and influence one another. In the field of competition law, he has written on the modernisation of Article 102, on the judicial review of administrative decisions, on its interface with intellectual property and on State aid. Future projects will deal with the economic analysis of media regulation.
