Description of the research topic:
The large body of economic literature has been focusing on market prices for decades. These investigations are important from both academic and policy perspectives. Market prices are the most prominent signals of market mechanisms that can be investigated by competition authorities when analyzing unfair pricing behavior and horizontal and vertical mergers. As such, empirical research in industrial organizations is essential for social welfare.
Possible research directions:
Cost-pass through analysis, market price analysis and price regulations, horizontal and vertical mergers, entry and exit models.
