Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Target audience of this course are Business students of the KFK Industrial Management. In the first part of this course we discuss market structures (e.g., perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly). Furthermore, we study game theoretic models to analyze markets. We continue then to focus on electricity markets -- a market which gained importance in the last decade. This part of the course is complemented by a session from Wien Energie (http://www.wienenergie.at, a local utility) where current practical issues are discusssed. Finally, we analyze network markets. 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. All students should be interested in applied microeconomics.
