Abstract
The course introduces the theory of industrial organization and focuses on behavior of firms, market structures, interaction between them, and antitrust policy. It includes economic modeling, game theory, case studies, and discussion of real life examples. The course focus is split between economy theory models and real markets analysis. Knowledge acquired in this course will provide students with analytical, business managing, and public governance skills.
