Centre for the study of Regulated Industries (CRI)

The CRI is a Research Centre of the University of Bath School of Management. The CRI was founded in 1991 by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). It transferred to the University of Bath School of Management in 1998. It is situated on the 8th floor of Wessex House (North), adjacent to West car park. (test)

The CRI is an interdisciplinary research, centre investigating how regulation and competition are working in practice, both in the UK and abroad. It is independent and politically neutral. It aims to produce authoritative, practical contributions to regulatory policy and debate, which are put into the public domain. The CRI focuses on comparative analyses across the regulated industries. CRI activities and outputs include:

• Regulatory statistics, information and analysis
• Discussion papers and Occasional papers
• Regulatory briefs, Reviews and International series
• Research reports and Technical papers
• Seminars, courses and conferences

Direct links with regulated industries, the regulators, the academic community and other interested parties are an important feature of the work of the CRI. The CRI is non-profit making. Its activities are supported by a wide range of sponsors.
