The Economic Society of Australia (NSW Branch) together with Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal invite you to an inaugural Regulatory Economics Community of Practice meeting.

• Date: Friday 11 September
• Time: 12.30 - 2.00 pm
• Venue: Waratah, Banksia Rooms | Level 15 | 2-24 Rawson Place, Sydney

At this meeting we will be discussing the setting of public transport fares based on a discussion paper that IPART is scheduled to release on 8 September 2015. Mike Smart, Chief Economist at IPART, will explain the underlying methods for optimising fares across all modes and explain how the efficient fare can be determined for peak and off-peak time periods and for journeys of different distances. Participants will be encouraged to read the discussion paper and engage in discussion on the approach. A light lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to Denise Reid at IPART.
