Advanced Industrial Economics - Stephen Martin

This is the first advanced textbook in industrial economics to integrate a discussion of the latest theoretical developments with a comprehensive review of empirical work. It includes chapters on models of strategic behavior, collusion, advertising, research and development, vertical restraints, and the theory of contestable markets. There are complete treatments of the determination of firm structure and market structure and the literature where industrial economics overlaps with international trade and macroeconomics. Stephen Martin also provides a complete review of empirical tests of market performance, from Bain to the "empirical renaissance".
Advanced Industrial Economics will be an invaluable textbook for students and a useful reference for researchers in industrial economics.
