Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The target audience of this course are Business students with a focus on Industrial Management and an interest in understanding strategic interaction of companies/competitors.
In the first part of this course we discuss market structures (e.g., perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly) and game theoretic models to analyze strategic actions and reactions. We continue then to focus on network as well as on electricity markets -- the latter having gained importance in the last decade (keyword: the German Energiewende). Most theoretic models are partial equilibrium models stemming from the discipline of industrial organization. To enrich the theoretic models we also have room for discussing relevant case-studies. In the second part of the course, the students are then asked to apply this knowledge by presenting and discussing selected papers or case studies.
