Course Syllabus
Abstract
Industrial Economics, or Industrial Organization (IO), is the area of economics that studies firms and their interaction. During the course we will study firms and markets as institutions, the state of competition, the strategic interaction among firms, the industrial policy and decisions companies make within the market environment. IO is a course in applied economic theory. Topics include imperfect competition, contracts, price discrimination and competition policy. Pre-requisites: The course requires knowledge of intermediate microeconomics theory, basic econometrics, and calculus. Third-year game theory is a plus in understanding the material.
