This course provides a study of the strategic behavior of firms, particularly the concentration indices and monopolistic behavior found in both single and multi-product firms, and examines how price discrimination facilitates an increase in profits. It explores the strategic interaction between firms in oligopolistic markets, models that include time horizon, capacity restrictions, and product differentiation, and the strategic effect of capacity change on firm entry decision or the effect of location decision on firm market power. Students are expected to have completed coursework in microeconomics and game theory
