Industrial Economics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module of the course will examine some market models that deviate only slightly from monopoly and perfect competition, such as the dominant firm model and monopolistic competition. It will also cover more over-arching themes such as product differentiation and advertising; innovation and the role of R&D; industrial policy and competition policy; and state aid.
