| Course content and
structure |
|
This course gives an overview of modern industrial organizations
and, with its focus on inter-firm relations. It complements
KAN-CAEFO1074U Firm Theory and Corporate Governance which is
focused on the intra-firm relations.
We will use microeconomics, game theory and econometrics to
analyze how firms strategically interact in markets. After
reviewing the basic oligopoly models, the course will cover
antitrust policy, contractual relations between firms, non-price
competition and network issues. There will be empirical
applications to each theoretical model.
