A new collaboration agreement !

At the close of June 2025, Yassine Lefouili, Managing Director of the Jean-Jacques Laffont - TSE Foundation and Patrick Rey, Director of TSE Competition Policy & Regulation Center, joined the national competition authorities of Denmark, Iceland, Finland, and Norway in signing a new collaboration agreement.

This agreement builds on an already fruitful relationship, reaffirming TSE’s longstanding commitment to collaborating with leading competition agencies. By formalizing their partnership, the signatories pledge to deepen the exchange of expertise, foster cutting-edge research, and deliver bespoke training and seminar programs that will directly inform policy decisions. Practitioners from the authorities will gain privileged access to TSE’s academic insights, while TSE researchers will engage more closely with the real-world challenges shaping Nordic competition policy.

We are delighted to learn alongside some of the world’s leading economists and to exchange views with them on key issues related to competition economics. It is important for us to maintain close ties with the academic community.

Hans Petter H. Hanson, Chief Economist at the Norwegian Competition Authority.

By pooling their strengths, TSE and its Nordic partners aim to advance excellence in economic analysis and regulatory practice, ultimately strengthening the competitive landscape across Europe.

These opportunities for shared dialogue involving multiple authorities are highly constructive in enhancing the impact of our research
