What is Jean Tirole known for in economics?

I am primarily known for my work on market power and its regulation. My research, often utilizing game theory, analyzes how firms with market power behave and how optimal regulations can be designed to protect consumers and promote efficiency. This involves understanding strategic interactions, information asymmetries, and incentive structures to ensure markets function closer to the ideal of perfect competition, even when market imperfections exist.
