Overview
Key facts
London School of Economics and Political Science's Industrial Organisation and Introduction to Competition Policy course will focus on understanding the way firms make decisions and the effects of those decisions on market outcomes like prices, quantities, the type of products offered, and social welfare.
Over the past decade, this has been one of the most exciting areas of economics, as a new generation of game-theoretic models have provided us with new ways of analysing a range of practical issues, and addressing some long-standing empirical questions.The topics covered in this course span a wide range of issues, from predatory pricing to cartel stability, and from the role of non-price competition to the evolution of high technology industries.
