| Description | | - A European focused introduction to Industrial Organization by a leading author in the field
- Accompanying website providing case studies, extra information on specific topics, biographical material on economists relevant to the history of the discipline, and invaluable list of Industrial Economics links
- Accessible and up to date introduction to the major theoretical models and central topics in the discipline, including analyses of competition theory, firm structure, market structure, innovation, and static market
- Economic analysis of EU competition policy and market integration in the EU provides a useful European perspective
- Investigation of international trade policy and market performance provides a broader framework for understanding industrial economics
| Industrial Organization: A European Perspective presents a clearly explained and stimulating introduction to the basic theoretical models of industrial economics (including perfect competition, monopoly, Bertrand and Cournot competition) and to the most relevant topics in the field, including collusion, dominance, innovation, and international trade. The book contains up to date and accessible
discussions of the determinants of firm structure (asset specificity), innovation, and static market performance.
Whilst covering international trade policy and market performance, the book focuses especially on the EU. For instance, the various policy issues raised by collusion and dominant firm behaviour are analysed with particular reference to EU competition policy. There is also
substantial discussion of performance in and policy toward imperfectly competitive international markets. The final chapter then looks at market integration in the European Union.
The book is accompanied by a website providing case studies, extra information on specific topics, biographical material on economists relevant to the history of the discipline, and an invaluable list of links to
other useful sites. |
Readership: Second and third year students studying industrial organization or industrial economics as part of an economics degree.
