Biography
John Asker joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Economics in 2004. His primary research areas include empirical industrial organization and applied microeconomics. His research focuses on the competitive effects of vertical market structure, with a particular focus on antitrust issues, and the design of auction markets.
Professor Asker's research has examined the impact of exclusive distribution networks on competition in the American beer industry, the impact of withdrawal rights on bidding behavior in auctions, and the use of "scoring rules" to evaluate bids in complex procurement settings. He has recently started investigating different contracting practices between movie studios and video stores, and their impact on inventory, profitability and competition.
Professor Asker has a Bachelor of Economics degree from the Australian National University and Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, both in economics, from Harvard University.
