ノーベル経済学賞 he 2014 economics Nobel Prize

ノーベル経済学賞は、フランス人経済学者。
French economist Jean Tirole won the 2014 economics Nobel Prize for his analysis of market power and regulation...授賞：市場の支配力と規制の分析

Tirole, 61, works at the Toulouse School of Economics in France and has a Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.　
以下、スウェーデン王立科学アカデミーが、この経済学者をノーベル賞に選んだ理由。
“From the mid-1980s and onwards, Jean Tirole has breathed new life into research on such market failures,” the academy said, adding his work has strong bearing on how governments deal with mergers or cartels and how they should regulate monopolies.
大企業の独占や寡占の弊害を防ぐため、最適な規制の在り方を導き出した研究
“In a series of articles and books, Jean Tirole has presented a general framework for designing such policies and applied it to a number of industries, ranging from telecommunications to banking,” the academy said.　
　市場が1社や少数の大企業に支配されていると競争原理が働きにくくなり、価格がつり上げられたり、新規参入が妨げられたりする恐れがあるから、こうした問題を防ぐため、従来の研究では企業の合併やカルテルの規制、上限価格設定などの政策が有効とされてきた。
Before Tirole, the academy said, policy-makers advocated simple rules including capping prices for companies with a monopoly and banning cooperation between competitors. Tirole showed that in some circumstances, such rules can do more harm than good.ティロール氏は、あらゆる業種に一律にこうした規制を当てはめると逆に過剰な利益を得る企業が出現するなど、社会に害をもたらすケースもあると。

Tirole氏の論からの展望は、ここかな。↓
Drawing on insights based on Tirole’s work, “governments can better encourage powerful firms to become more productive and, at the same time, prevent them from harming competitors and customers,” the academy said.
