Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Course description: The course provides a broad introduction to Industrial Organization -- the theory of the behavior of firms in markets, the structure of markets and the interaction of these two. We will analyze the behavior of firms under different industrial structures: competitive, oligopolistic, monopolistic with a strong emphasis on firm behavior in imperfectly competitive markets. We will cover both how the structure of markets constrains firm behavior as well as how firms behave so as to influence the market environment or their standing within markets. Specific topics the course will cover are: basic game theory tools; pricing, quantity-choice, and product differentiation strategies of firms; the range of products a firm produces; the quality of a firm's products; competitive and non-competitive relationships between firms; strategic behavior of firms such as entry deterrence and exclusionary behavior; cartelization; horizontal merger; causes and consequences of vertical integration; product and process innovations and a firm's incentives to engage in research and development.Preliminaries: Microeconomics
