Course content

The purpose of this course is to progress on some topics from the undergraduate teaching of Microeconomics and /or Industrial Organization (e.g. oligopoly coordination or vertical restraints) and to cover some additional topics (for example the economics of networks and two-sided markets, mergers, as well as R&D and innovation). The course will also cover the new empirical industrial economics that analyses real market behaviour on the basis of IO theory. It is assumed that students are familiar with Intermediate Microeconomics.
