| 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-CEAPO2001U Corporate Governance and Entrepreneurship
which focuses 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.
