ECONOMETRIC MODELS FOR INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONEconomic Models for Industrial Organization focuses on the specification and estimation of econometric models for research in industrial organization. In recent decades, empirical work in industrial organization has moved towards dynamic and equilibrium models, involving econometric methods which have features distinct from those used in other areas of applied economics. These lecture notes, aimed for a first or second-year PhD course, motivate and explain these econometric methods, starting from simple models and building to models with the complexity observed in typical research papers. The covered topics include discrete-choice demand analysis, models of dynamic behavior and dynamic games, multiple equilibria in entry games and partial identification, and auction models.Contents:Demand Estimation for Differentiated-product MarketsSingle-agent Dynamic Models: Part 1Single-agent Dynamic Models: Part 2Single-agent Dynamic Models: Part 3Dynamic GamesAuction ModelsPartial Identification in Structural ModelsBackground: Simulation MethodsProblem Sets
