Educational objectives KNOWLEDGE ACHIEVED:
This course builds upon issues that are commonly dealt with in first-level Industrial Organization courses. The course concerns regulatory and competition policies that are commonly applied in developed Countries. The aim is to provide students with tools to understand and design optimal ex ante and ex post public interventions in the economy at the sectorial level, to investigate the rationale for such interventions, the complex relationship between Regulators and regulated companies and the possibility for these interventions to overcome market failures.
SKILLS ACHIEVED:
Students will learn how to design tariffs and other types of regulatory interventions, as well a how to define markets for the purpose of applying regulatory and competition policies. They will gain awareness about the potential for these interventions to increase social welfare and about the internal knowledge firms have to develop in order to comply with regulatory and competition rules. At the end of the course, students will have good knowledge of advanced industrial economics models applied to regulatory and antitrust issues and will be able to perform their own analysis concerning any regulatory or competition intervention.
