In 2012 I started writing two draft chapters for a book on Empirical Industrial Organization and Competition Policy. I hope to find time soon to complete the other six chapters!
Â
Outline
Measurement of market power
Market power and conduct
Market power and product differentiation
Market power and market structure
Market definition
Cartels: detection and damages
Mergers
Exclusion and vertical restraints
The first four chapters cover empirical IO approaches to analyzing market power. The next four "twin" chapters provide applications to competition policy.
