Abstract:
Industrial Organization, a Contract Based approach (aka IOCB) offers a extensive and an up-to-date panorama of Industrial Organization aimed at advanced undergraduates; it should also appeal to graduates, academics and practitioners with an interest in the field. The analysis of market interactions, business strategies and public policy is performed using the now standard framework of game theory and the recent advances of contract theory and information economics. The book is written from a European perspective, set side by side with the US situation. The reader is introduced to all important models of the current research literature with a simplified and unified notation. The extensive bibliography covers all landmark articles.
