Аннотация

Industrial organization is the study of how firms compete in markets. It is the study of imperfectly competitive markets, involving the use of game theory to understand strategic interactions between competing businesses. In the first part of the course we will learn the basic economic models that provide insight into the behavior of consumers and firms. While this course is entirely theoretical, the understanding of oligopolistic behavior is crucial for economic consultancies. In the second part of the course we will focus on the topics that are most important for antitrust (competition) policy. In particular, we will analyze collusion, horizontal mergers and vertical relations. In each part we will consider a basic model and its variations, look at few notable cases and talk about relevant antitrust policy. The lectures will finish with a glimpse into Behavioral Industrial Organization – a hot research topic nowadays. In the end of the course we will have student presentations of important antitrust cases from EU and US. I will provide some cases to present but students are welcome to find their own that have not found yet their way to the literature such as the recent (and still ongoing) Android case in which European Commission fined Google for €4.34 billion.
