Interactive Graphs for IO
On this page you can find files for some Interactive Graphs of standard models in Industrial Organisation. I use these for teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in IO. The Interactive Graphs have been created in Mathematica.
If you have a Mathematica licence, you can download the relevant notebook (.nb file) and open it directly in the software. You can amend the code if you wish. If you don't have Mathematica, you can get the Wolfram Player software for free and download the computable document (.cdf file) instead. This still allows you to fully use the Interactive Graphs but you will not be able to make changes to the code.
The graphs were developed with the support of the Cambridge Teaching and Learning Innovation Fund and with the assistance of Jakob Berndt.
As part of the TeachECONference2021 at UCL, I gave a a short presentation introducing the Interactive Graphs. Some of these graphs are also featured on the Wolfram Demonstrations Project website here.
The Interactive Graphs are fully interactive and all parameters of the model can be changed live using the controls provided. In addition, the graphs can be set to dynamically illustrate how things change as parameters change, as shown in this gif. This particular Interactive Graph illustrates the Merger Paradox in Cournot oligopoly.
