Are you interested in how the UK’s internal market works?     The Office for the Internal Market (OIM) is part of the CMA. It independently advises the four governments across the UK on how specific laws, rules and regulations impact the UK internal market and reports on how well it is working.    Professor Andreas Stephan, a member of the OIM Panel, has published a blog which discusses findings from the OIM’s recent annual report and how it draws on and uses available data.    You can also find out how to register for the OIM’s upcoming workshop, which will bring stakeholders together to discuss how different data sources and techniques for modelling and analysis can offer insights into the functioning of the UK internal market.     Read more: https://lnkd.in/eH26rjzm
