Features: New Century University Economics Textbook Translation Series. As an authoritative textbook on advanced industrial economics, this book fully reflects the new research findings of the mainstream school of industrial economics (also known as industrial organization), specifically the Harvard School. Building upon the continued adherence to the research methods and fundamental principles of mainstream industrial economics, the book selectively focuses on most of the key issues in contemporary mainstream industrial economics as its main content, thereby fully meeting the requirements of graduate education. The book covers topics such as the theoretical foundations of oligopoly, neoclassical empirical research on the Chamberlin model, early empirical studies on the relationship between structure—conduct—performance, strategic behavior, collusion and non-cooperative collusion, the determinants of market structure and firm structure, as well as vertical restraints.
