Description
This course examines areas of research in modern industrial organization theory and competition policy. Industrial Organization is the field in economics that examines the effectiveness of competition in markets that are less than perfectly competitive. Among the topics addressed are models of imperfect competition, game theory and competition in a spatial framework. Business practices such as resale price maintenance, exclusive dealing, and tied selling are examined in the context of industrial organization theory and policy. In addition, the course examines how current research in industrial organization is reflected in Canada's Competition Act.
