This course covers research methods in applied empirical industrial organization. The primary focus will be on the use of econometric analysis and data both for descriptive and measurement purposes, and to test the predictions of economic theories.

Main topics to be covered include the following: Estimating equilibria in homogeneous and heterogeneous product markets; details and applications of demand estimation; production and cost functions; empirical models of price discrimination and of vertical contracting and integration; empirical two-period models, empirical single-agent and multiple-agent dynamic models. |
