Summary of Experience

Professor Dranove's research focuses on problems in industrial organization and business strategy, with an emphasis on the health care industry. He has published nearly 100 research articles and book chapters, and is the author of six books, including The Economic Evolution of American Healthcare, Code Red, and the textbook The Economics of Strategy, which is used by leading business schools around the world. Professor Dranove regularly consults with leading health care organizations in the public and private sectors. He also has two decades of experience performing and testifying about economic analyses in both litigation and regulatory actions.
