What We Measure / Markets and Behavior
Markets and Behavior
Regulation is written for how people are assumed to behave. CGHA measures how they behave in fact. Across gambling, food, and appetite more broadly, this programme combines original US and UK survey data with market analysis to establish how consumers respond to intervention, how firms adapt, and which unintended consequences follow.
WHAT WE MEASURE
How do consumers actually respond to regulation?
How do markets adapt?
What unintended consequences emerge?
