Economie industrielle
Markets - Competition -
This course in Industrial Organization is intended for a multi-disciplinary group of students in social sciences and engineering. The main goal is to develop the basic intuition of IO concepts and analyze the way firms produce, make strategic decisions and interact with each other in the marketplace. When needed, the course will take a formal approach using microeconomics. Each time it is possible, the analysis will use concrete firm case studies.
