Luís Cabral

A native of Portugal, Luís Cabral is a graduate of Stanford University (PhD, Economics, 1989). He taught at Nova, LBS, LSE, Berkeley, Yale, and most recently NYU's Stern School of Business. Cabral is also Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research and President of the European Association for Research in Industrial Economics.

Cabral's research is focused on firm competition, both from the antitrust and from the strategy perspectives. He has published dozens of scholarly articles in leading economics journals. His textbook, Introduction to Industrial Organization, was published by MIT Press in 2000 and translated into several languages. His research has been featured in the media, from television (e.g., NBC) to radio (e.g., BBC) to newspapers (e.g., the Wall Street Journal). He has been on the editorial boards of several scholarly journals and is currently co-editor of the Journal of Economics and Management Strategy.

Professor Cabral has consulted with a variety of organizations (both public and private), primarily on antitrust issues, in industries such as airtravel, retail gasoline, telecommunications, banking, software, and aircraft manufacturing (he is a leading expert witness in the ongoing Airbus-Boeing WTO case). He is also a member of EC President Barroso's Group of Economic Policy Analysis.

Other than economics, Cabral's interests include painting (his art work has been exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic) and saxophone playing (performed with the NYU Stern Faculty All Stars and other equally reputed bands).
