empirical Industrial Organization a progress report
Voprosy Economiki, 2012Co-Authors: Jonathan Levin, Liran EinavAbstract:The article sketches how the field of Industrial Organization has evolved to its current state, in particular how the emphasis has shifted over time from attempts to relate aggregate measures across industries toward more focused studies of individual industries. The authors describe several active areas of inquiry, discuss some of the impacts of this research and specify topics where research efforts have been more or less successful. They also address some current debates about research emphasis in the field, and more broadly about empirical methods, and offer some ideas on where future research might go.

empirical Industrial Organization a progress report
Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2010Co-Authors: Liran Einav, Jonathan LevinAbstract:The field of Industrial Organization has made dramatic advances over the last few decades in developing empirical methods for analyzing imperfect competition and the Organization of markets. We describe the motivation for these developments and some of the successes. We also discuss the relative emphasis that applied work in the field has placed on economic theory relative to statistical research design, and the possibility that a focus on methodological innovation has crowded out applications. We offer some suggestions about how the field may progress in coming years.

Handbook of Industrial Organization: Volume 3
2007Co-Authors: Mark Armstrong, Robert H. PorterAbstract:This is Vol 3 of the Handbook of Industrial Organization series (HIO). Vols 1 & 2 published simultaneously in 1989 under the editorship of Richard Schmalensee and Robert Willig. Many of the chapters in these successful volumes were widely cited and appeared on graduate reading lists, and some continue to appear even recently. Since the first volumes published, the field of Industrial Organization has continued to evolve. As the editors acknowledge in the Preface, these volumes had some gaps and this new volume aims to fill some of those gaps. The aim is to serve as a source, reference and teaching supplement for Industrial Organization, or Industrial economics, the microeconomics field that focuses on business behavior and its implications for both market structures and processes, and for related public policies. The first two volumes of the HIO appeared at roughly the same time as Jean Tirole's book The Theory of Industrial Organization. Together they helped revolutionize the teaching of Industrial Organization, and provided a state-of-the-art summary. Tirole's book is concerned with the relevant theory, and several reviewers noted that the first two volumes of HIO contained much more discussion of the theoretical literature than of the empirical literature. In most respects, this imbalance was an accurate reflection of the field. Since then, the empirical literature has flourished, while the theoretical literature has continued to grow, and this new volume reflects that change of emphasis. *Part of the renown Handbooks in Economics series *Chapters are contributed by some of the leading experts in their fields. *A source, reference and teaching supplement forIndustrial Organizations, or Industrial economicists.

Preface: Handbook of Industrial Organization: Volume 3
2007Co-Authors: Mark Armstrong, Robert H. PorterAbstract:This volume is the third in the Handbook of Industrial Organization series (hereafter, the HIO). The first two volumes were published simultaneously in 1989, under the editorship of Richard Schmalensee and Robert Willig. The first two volumes were quite successful, by several measures. Many of the chapters were widely cited, many chapters appeared on graduate reading lists, some have continued to appear even recently, and we understand that the two volumes are among the best sellers in the Handbook of Economics Series. However, the field of Industrial Organization has evolved since then. Moreover, as Schmalensee and Willig acknowledge in their Preface, the original HIO volumes had some gaps. The purpose of this volume is to fill in some of those gaps, and to report on recent developments. The aim is to serve as a source, reference and teaching supplement for Industrial Organization, or Industrial economics, the microeconomics field that focuses on business behavior and its implications for both market structures and processes, and for related public policies.

A Review Essay on Handbook of Industrial Organization
Journal of Economic Literature, 1991Co-Authors: Robert H. PorterAbstract:THIS ARTICLE critically reviews the Handbook of Industrial Organization (henceforward the "Handbook"), edited by Richard Schmalensee and Robert Willig. These two volumes are the tenth installment in the North-Holland Handbooks in Economics series, under the general editorship of Kenneth Arrow and Michael Intriligator. Like its predecessors, this Handbook contains a number of survey papers (in this instance, 26) on a variety of related topics. As such, they afford both authors and readers an opportunity to determine which directions research in the field has taken, what (if any) real advances have been made, and what questions are still unanswered. Consequently, this review also describes and appraises the current state of Industrial Organization. Research in Industrial Organization has undergone a dramatic change in the last 20 years. Neoclassical decision-theoretic analysis and competitive general equilibrium theory have been supplanted almost completely by noncooperative game theory. This change was not merely the adoption of the tools of another field.

Introduction: Recent Developments in Industrial Organization
Recent Developments in the Theory of Industrial Organization, 1992Co-Authors: Alfredo Del MonteAbstract:Industrial Organization theory has made substantial progress in the past decade. New tools and new approaches have been developed, and the purpose of this volume is to review and present some of these developments. The material is organized into four sections: recent approaches to Industrial Organization; the behaviour of individual firms and the characteristics of Industrial systems as a whole; new theories of the firm and market structure; and technical progress and market structure — some special issues.
