Andrew Rhodes, professor at Toulouse School of Economics (TSE), has received a €1.2 million consolidation grant from the European Research Council to fund his research project on "Data and Market Power in the Digital Economy".

The European Research Council (ERC) is a European Union body responsible for coordinating research efforts between EU Member States and the first pan-European funding agency for 'frontier research'.
The European Council funds frontier research projects in all fields of science and technology. The only selection criterion is scientific excellence.

He is a Research Fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) on industrial organisation, with a special focus of competition policy and the digital economy.
 

He obtained his PhD in 2010 from the University of Oxford (Nuffield College). He then spent three more years in Oxford as a British Academy postdoctoral fellow (Department of Economics), and as the Rank-Manning junior research fellow (New College). He joined TSE in 2013 and became a Professor in 2019. He previously received young economist awards at the EARIE and JEI conferences, and more recently was awarded the Robert F.
