Robyn Hollander has long standing interests in federalism and regulation which stem back to her doctoral studies.  While that research focused on housing policy in Australia, and in particular the work of the then Queensland Housing Commission, two relationships were unavoidable; that between the commonwealth and the states and between governments and markets.  These relationships have continued to inform her research agenda which has spanned several policy areas including the environment, competition, and most recently higher education. Her current work centres around issues of moral policy.
