Joel Kariel

Econometrics Adviser

Competition & Markets Authority

I am a research economist working at the Microeconomics Unit at the Competition & Markets Authority. We are a growing research unit, working on a wide range of topics including market power, firm dynamics, productivity, labour markets, innovation, and applied microeconometrics.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Kent working with Anthony Savagar on scale economies in the UK. I completed my DPhil in Economics at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Petr Sedlacek, focusing on automation and firm dynamics.

I was awarded BA Leverhulme Small Research Grant 2022. I am working on racial discrimination in the labour market for professional footballers with an RA. The job advert can be found here. Initial findings will be available in early 2023.

We have just published our report on labour market power in the UK. Please have a read and get in contact if you’d like to discuss anything about labour markets!
