The present investigation elaborates on the level of game theory application for the applied and theoretical analyses of climate change and development studies. This editorial shows that the common good character of global climate alongside the increasing internalization of environmental...

As the platform economy continues to reshape the way we live, work, and consume, firms across industries are increasingly dependent upon platforms to engage with customers. Although prior research highlights how these firms develop strategic responses to cope with risks and vulnerabilities...

International small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) encounter several problems, including how to manage the industry forces in order to achieve their performance goals. Focusing mainly on international SMEs, we explored this issue by examining competitive advantage as a mediator in the...

Data-driven AI pricing algorithms in on-line markets collect consumer information and use it in their pricing technologies. In the simplest symmetric Hotelling's model such technologies reduce prices and profits. We extend Hotelling's model with vertically differentiated products, cost...

This study aims to investigate the Role of ownership structure on the Effect of investment strategy on future performance. The research focuses on ownership that compares foreign and domestic ownership structures. The research sample is a non-financial company in ASEAN countries. Multiple...

This book uses economic theory to explain how consumers and producers have responded to major changes in the music industry. Byun examines the important role of technology in changing its structure, particularly as new methods of creating and accessing music prove to be a double-edged sword for...

The present study analyzes the relationship between energy transition and job creation potential in Latin America. It looks at companies' characteristics to infer potential hiring process drivers in forthcoming years. The analysis is based on an econometric model applied to cross-sectional data...

We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model to quantify the interaction between climate policy, industry dynamics, and the elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty energy in the economy. The model incorporates empirical observations that firms differ substantially in their potential...

Asset price bubbles play an important role in resource allocation and affect the industry dynamics. We use the Chinese Stock market data and the micro data for manufacturing firms in China between 1998 and 2007 to develop an estimation on industry dynamics from four channels including...

We review approaches to identification and inference on models in Industrial Organization with partial identification and/or moment inequalities. Often, such approaches are intentionally built directly on assumptions of optimizing behavior that are credible in Industrial Organization settings,...

We present a new class of methods for identification and inference in dynamic models with serially correlated unobservables, which typically imply that state variables are econometrically endogenous. In the context of Industrial Organization, these state variables often reflect econometrically...

Firms facing complex objectives often decompose the problems they face, delegating different parts of the decision to distinct sub-units. Using comprehensive data and internal models from a large U.S. airline, we establish that airline pricing is not well approximated by a model of the firm as a...

Usually, health policy makers face a trade-off between benefits and costs from healthcare markets regulation and deregulation. We argue that these markets and policy reforms should not be studied in isolation as the effects from regulation in one market spillover to other markets. In particular,...

In testimony before Congress in 1969, economist Kenneth Boulding argued that “The war industry is a cancer within the body of American society. It has its own mode of growth, it represents a system which is virtually independent and indeed objectively inimical to the welfare of the American...

This paper theoretically examines the relationship between the industrial organization of firms and structural change in a developing economy. For this, we built a multisectoral model with different balances in the competition and evaluated the changes in the productive structure. Specifically,...

The volume edited by De Jong and Sheherd is devoted to the history of economic thought which has, unfortunately, been more and more marginalised in economics teaching and research. "Pioneers of Industrial Organization" thus aims to fil a gap as regards the development of competition economics....

The Internet has done globally for information what the printed circuit board has done for electronics and electronic components: establish a universal standard of interchange and composition and thus provide a mechanism for scalability. Australia has recently capitalized on this global trend by...

This book provides an updated overview of the recent progress in the theoretical study of third-degree price discrimination. It is a marketing tactic and is said to be present if the unit price is different across different groups of buyers. Its welfare evaluation is often difficult because it...

We study the relationship between market size and a number of firms in several healthcare professions in Slovakia to provide a new evidence about their entry decisions and a toughness of competition in the market. The size of a local market to support the entry of the first general practitioner...
