This course will provide students with a survey of economic models in industrial organization, applied to innovation-related issues. The course is divided into three sections. In the first one, we introduce the concept of innovation, its measurement and how it is related to knowledge. In the second part, we look at innovation at the firm level. In particular, we delve into the "knowledge- creating" company and its strategies. Finally, we analyze the structure and evolution of several hi-tech industries, in terms of survival of existing firms and creation of new firms.

Game theory is the study of strategic interactions. In order for a decision-maker to decide the best course of action, he must take into account the actions of others, including how his own behavior influences the thinking and payoffs of others. Game theory helps us develop an understanding of how people actually behave and how they should be advised to behave in strategic situations. Game theory models conflict and cooperation between rational decision-making agents and has applications in a wide variety of areas, including statistical decision theory, artificial intelligence, economics and business, biology, political science and philosophy.
