Industrial organisation uses microeconomics' models (both static and dynamic) as well as the game theory to describe various aspects of firms, industries and markets. The ultimate goal of the course is to discuss the influence of government on markets, exerted to create more competitive structures. Throughout the course we will discuss case studies mainly from our European markets rather then American ones. The course will start with the overview of the theory of firms and costs and the description of different market structures. This will be applied to the analysis of monopolies and monopoly practices. The course will also discuss concentration in individual markets, entry and exit issues and mergers. The next part of the course will begin from the short overview of game theory and its application to the analysis of oligopolistic behaviour together with basic microeconomics tools we will study cartels and the entry in both pricing and non-pricing strategies. The last part of the course will give an overview of business practices product differentiation and advertising strategies, research and development, price discrimination and vertical relationships and integration. The course will end with the discussion about regulation and deregulation. Mikolaj Klimczak Department of Microeconomics and Institutional Economics Phone: mikolaj.klimczak@ue.wroc.pl 1.
