of such behaviour in imperfectly competitive markets.
Objectives:
On completing the course students should be equipped with the necessary theoretical apparatus to undertake the analysis of interactive firm decision making in the areas of price and output determination, including appraisal of the market power and efficiency hypotheses in relation to market outcomes.
