Περιγραφή μαθήματος

The course of Industrial Organization provides students with the theoretical backgrounds to study and understand the behaviour and interactions among firms and their effects on market structure. In details, the student will learn to understand how firms interactions influence market equilibrium and market structures (perfect and imperfect competition), and the firms’ strategies to acquire market power (cartels, mergers, etc.). In addition, students will understand the reasons for which antitrust and ex-post regulation is important for the economic growth of a region or of a country, and the way anti-competitive behaviour are managed by policy makers. In this way, students will also understand the actual regulatory choices made especially in Europe and the US.
