Learning outcomes
The purpose of the course is to familiarize students to advanced topics and methods in Empirical Industrial Organization (IO). At the end of the course, students have learned how to estimate static demand and supply using both market level and individual level data, and how the estimation results can be used in applications. The course will start the process of preparing economics Ph.D. students to conduct thesis research in this area.
