Course Objectives	The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the major areas encompassed by industrial organization, focusing on modern theoretical approaches and also on recent empirical studies.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students will recognize that there are complexities in our understanding of the relevant market for competition purposes and that there are a number of competing perspectives in industrial economics which make public policy decisions problematic. Students will acquire knowledge about what a concentration ratio is. Students will be able to define industrial economics. Students will be able to assess the definition of an industry. Students will be able to compare and contrast various perspectives in industrial economics.
Course Content	Competitive markets, real world institutions, and the internal organization of firms; price discrimination; vertical control; oligopoly theory; product differentiation under oligopoly; entry, entry deterrence and predation; new empirical industrial organization; non-cooperative game theory.
