Jean Tirole
Front Cover
13 Reviews
MIT Press, 1988 - Business & Economics - 479 pages

The Theory of Industrial Organization is the first primary text to treat the new industrial organization at the advanced-undergraduate and graduate level. Rigorously analytical and filled with exercises coded to indicate level of difficulty, it provides a unified and modern treatment of the field with accessible models that are simplified to highlight robust economic ideas while working at an intuitive level.To aid students at different levels, each chapter is divided into a main text and supplementary section containing more advanced material. Each chapter opens with elementary models and builds on this base to incorporate current research in a coherent synthesis.Tirole begins with a background discussion of the theory of the firm. In part I he develops the modern theory of monopoly, addressing single product and multi product pricing, static and intertemporal price discrimination, quality choice, reputation, and vertical restraints.In part II, Tirole takes up strategic interaction between firms, starting with a novel treatment of the Bertrand-Cournot interdependent pricing problem. He studies how capacity constraints, repeated interaction, product positioning, advertising, and asymmetric information affect competition or tacit collusion. He then develops topics having to do with long term competition, including barriers to entry, contestability, exit, and research and development. He concludes with a "game theory user's manual" and a section of review exercises.Jean Tirole is a Professor of Economics at MIT

User Review - Flag as inappropriate

It's chapter 11 is used both in supply chain and corporate finance as the reference.
It provides very important intuition about bayesiam Eq., Nash Eq., and other stuff in contract theory.
For example it contains all the information for pooling, separating and semi separating equilibrium, which was an advanced topic in both contract theory and corporate finance.

I don't know if this is too theory heavy for my interests; worth a look though
