Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the main concepts of industrial organisation in the context of open economies. First, the course analyses the interaction of firms in the market focusing on their strategic behaviour and on how the latter is affected by competition policy. Second, the course introduces the models of international trade to illustrate how international competition affects firms and country behaviour and its impact on economic growth. At the end of the course students are able to: (a) understand strategic interaction of firms; (b) evaluate the role of competition policy; (c) understand how international trade fosters economic growth.

INDUSTRIAL ECONOMICS:
-TBA
INTERNATIONAL TRADE:
This part of the course focuses on international trade theory and policy. It addresses some of the classic questions of international trade theory such as: who trades what with whom? What are the effects of trade on welfare and the income distribution? How micro-aspects enter the picture of international trade? The course presents the answers of classical and new trade theory to these questions. The first part ends with an overview of recent theoretical and empirical research on the role of heterogeneous firms in international trade
