Tax and Transfer Policy Institute

The Assistant Minister for Competition, Dr Andrew Leigh MP, outlined new research underway for the government’s Competition Review, naming 3 of our colleagues from Crawford’s Tax and Transfer Policy Institute (TTPI) in his address to the Chifley Research Centre.

TTPI Director, Professor Robert Breunig, has teamed up with the government’s Competition Taskforce to look at whether Australia’s competition laws, policies and institutions remain fit for purpose.

TTPI researchers David Hansell and Nu Nu Win are also part of the Taskforce’s early research program. In collaboration with researchers from the Reserve Bank of Australia, David and Nu Nu are developing Australia’s first whole-of-economy approach to tracking mergers and acquisitions.
