| Objectives |
Students will learn to apply base concepts of industrial economics as a basis for economic management decisions from an economic point of view and assess and evaluate the resulting implications on the welfare in goods markets.
|
| Subject |
The base concepts in industrial economics will be further developed and deepened. The course will explore market structures and market power as well as techonological developments, monopoly positions, and its pricing.
What is the role of product variation? What are the characteristics and consequences of bundling, tie-in and complementary goods? Equally important are permanent goods, inefficiency and the race for monopoly benefits. In addition, the Cournot oligopoly, Bertrand oligopoly and the Stackelberg model will be discussed. The formation of cartels and mergers also plays a role.
