| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
This course gives an overview of modern industrial organization,
with a focus on inter-firm relations. It complements
KAN-CAEFO1074U Firm Theory and Corporate Governance
which focused on the intra-firm relations. We will use
microeconomics, game theory, and empirical methods to analyze how
firms strategically interact in markets. After reviewing the basic
pricing and oligopoly models, the course will cover strategic
investments, antitrust policy, contractual relations between firms
and network issues.
