Objectives The aim of this course is to expand students' knowledge of advances in the field of industrial organization and competition economics at the master level. A particular emphasis is put on empirical applications and the discussion of papers. This course provides lectures on the basic game theoretic models as well as on the empirical implentation of these models and their applications. The lectures are supplemented with case studies to learn how to apply the theoretical and the econometric models to real world situations.

Subject This course is a Masters course on antitrust and regulation. The first part of this course deals with the regulation of competition. We start by discussing the determinants of market outcomes, i.e. consumer demand, technological determinants of market structure and game theoretical models explaining market behavior in monopolies and oligopolies. We also cover methods applied in antitrust cases such as market definition, estimation of demand functions, calculation of cartel damages and detection of cartels. The second part of this course deals with the regulation of industries. We discuss pricing principles and price regulation on the basis of the telecommunication and the energy industry. A further example is the banking sector.
