ECON 43581 - Corporate Structure and Behavior

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Economics

Description:

This course describes and explains the range of industrial organization forms from perfect and monopolistic competition structures to oligopoly and monopoly ones; it then considers the variety of historic policy responses to those forms that were presumed or seen to be undermining or preventing desirable (i.e., competitive) outcomes. Assigned readings and class discussions feature case studies. General Motors, U.S. Steel and GE, for example, illustrate the postwar system and stand in sharp contrast to today's Wal-Mart, American Airlines and Intel. Students will research and report on selected industries and/or firms for both analytical and policy purposes.
