Congratulations to the SACL summer scholars who won prizes this week for their posters in the Summer Gold Competition.

Congratulations to David Cheng and Charlotte Langman, two of our Summer Scholars who won prizes this week for their posters in the Summer Gold Competition.

David Cheng: Economic Effect of Cartels

David Cheng won best poster prize in the Accounting and Commercial Law / Information Management academic group for his research on the "Economic effect of cartels".

Hosted (and partly funded by) the Commerce Commission, David's literature review focused on cartel overcharging, length of collusion and prevalence.

David's research was particularly pertinent to his double major in Economics and Law, and has made this trimester’s course in Competition Law even more relevant.

He has also enjoyed the opportunity to be part of a busy and productive organisation.

David was supervised by Lilla Csorgo at the Commerce Commission, and Jonathan Barrett and Trish Keeper in the School of Accounting and Commercial Law.

Charlotte Langman: Understanding Paramedic Staff Requirements

Charlotte Langman won a prize for Most Engaging Demonstration of Research with her poster on "Understanding paramedic staff requirements – a project with Wellington Free Ambulance (WFA)".

WFA hosted and partly funded Charlotte, who found learning more about our local ambulance service very valuable.

As an Honours student in Information Systems, Charlotte extended her skills to establish WFA's needs in understanding the costs and flows of paramedics.

From this, key principles were distilled to help WFA to develop software to better capture and report these costs and flows.

Charlotte was impressed by the complexity of WFA and its service delivery, enjoyed being part of an invigorating not-for-profit business, and is inspired to engage further with the community.

She was supervised by Sarah Lewis at WFA and Carolyn Cordery in the School of Accounting and Commercial Law.
