Handbook of Industrial Organization Volume 1

Rating:
Summary: Essential companion for a graduate student & researcher
Review: The Handbook is an essential companion for a graduate student in the field of economic theory. Although both young researchers, graduate students and experts in various economic fields will find it useful, it's really indispensable for anyone who is professionally interested in the field of Industrial Organization.

It's a professional guide to the extensive literature on noncompetitive markets, both theoretical (Volume I) and empirical (Volume II). It's not a textbook, although may be used in advanced microeconomics and IO courses as a companion. It was published in 1989 and a lot changed since then. Highly recommended.

Volume III is about to be published and alltogether the three volumes are a must.
