Speaker Biography

Professor Robin Mason

Robin Mason is Dean of the University of Exeter Business School and Professor of Economics.  Prior to coming to Exeter, he held academic positions at Cambridge, Oxford and Southampton.

Robin joined the University of Exeter Business School as Professor of Economics in 2009, having previously been the Eric Roll Professor of Economics and Head of Economics at the University of Southampton. He gained his PhD from the University of Cambridge. He is a fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); a Companion of the Chartered Management Institute; a Member of the Competition and Markets Authority; and a Director of the Association of Business Schools (and Chair of the Research Steering Committee).

His academic research concentrates on how firms respond strategically to uncertainty; and, more broadly, the incentives faced by economic agents in situations when they have imperfect information about their environment. While his research is theoretical in nature, it is motivated by the applied problems that he encounters while advising regulators and companies. In particular, much of his work is based on situations he has encountered when thinking about the communications and media industries. He has acted as advisor to a number of regulators, in both the UK and internationally, to the Prime Minister of Mauritius on competition policy, and a number of private-sector companies.
