| Description |
This course provides an introduction to industrial organization, both theoretical and empirical. Key topics covered are: market design, competition and strategic interaction, asymmetric information and risk preferences. Although we focus content wise on financial institutions and markets, many of the models and theories covered easily extend to other fields, including growth, labor economics, health and innovation economics.
