(*)Market power is prevalent in most markets. The course "Managerial Economics 2" analyzes and discusses (potential) sources of market power that allow firms to charge higher prices compared to the ideal of a perfectly competitive market. In particular we will deal with concentrated markets (oligopolies), markets with differentiated products, advertising as a channel to increase market power, and markets with information frictions (search models). The lecture is theory-based, but is complemented by recent findings in the empirical literature.
