Manuscript

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!

Outline

  1. Measurement of market power

  2. Market power and conduct

  3. Market power and product differentiation

  4. Market power and market structure

  5. Market definition

  6. Cartels: detection and damages

  7. Mergers

  8. 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.
