ECON 362 - Antitrust Law & Industrial Organization

Industrial Organization (IO) is the field of economics that studies how markets operate in practice, using a combination of game theory and empirical methods. Antitrust laws are a set of federal statutes designed to promote market competition, protect consumer welfare, and prevent anti-competitive business practices. This course provides students with a solid foundation in the core concepts of Industrial Organization and antitrust law, with a focus on how antitrust principles are applied in the United States to real-world markets, including digital markets and the health care sector.
