    Dr. Guy Ben-Ishai has been appointed to serve as the new Chief Economist at the Office of the New York Attorney General, according to a recent announcement. He is expected to play a major role in shaping and reinforcing the office’s aggressive and innovative law enforcement efforts, especially in the antitrust and securities areas.

    As Chief Economist at the Office of the Attorney General, Ben-Ishai will be charged with leading economic analysis in support of investigations, litigation, and policy development on behalf of New York and its citizens. He will oversee complex economic projects throughout the Office of the Attorney General, especially in the Antitrust, Investor Protection, and other bureaus in the Office.

    Ben-Ishai’s main areas of expertise include industrial organization and applied microeconomics. He has conducted economic analysis on matters involving tying, bundled discounts, resale price maintenance, exclusive dealing, predatory pricing, monopolization, mergers, price fixing, and patent misuse. His experience spans a broad range of industries, including payment cards, financial services, telecommunications, semiconductors, Internet technology, and pharmaceuticals.

    Prior to joining the Attorney General’s Office, he was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Toulouse and held positions at NERA, Compass Lexecon, and the Israel Antitrust Authority. Ben-Ishai received a Ph.D. in economics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a BA in economics from UCLA.

    “Sound economics is at the very core of effective law enforcement, and I am delighted to welcome Guy to my team,” said Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman. “I look forward to working with Guy to continue our efforts to protect New Yorkers and our economy by ensuring that companies operating in our state compete fairly and honestly.”
