Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with rigorous economic tools for the analysis of competition and regulation policies.
We will analyse and discuss the economic motivations underlying public intervention for regulation of markets and with particular interest on the analysis of the main regulatory tools and on economic issues underlying antitrust policies. In the first part of the course we will focus on the analysis of auctions and procurement mechanisms. The second part will focus on the analysis of regulation and competition policies from the theoretical point of view with attention also to the empirical evidence. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of predatory pricing and monopolization practices.
At completion of the course students should be able to:
- Understand and evaluate critically the justifications for the public intervention in the regulation of markets.
- Analyse and assess rigorously the economic implications of auction and procurement mechanisms.
Program
The course involves 36 hours of lectures
The program is divided into two parts.
Part I The economics of auctions and procurement:
- Introduction to the tools for the analysis of strategic interaction
- Applications to the analysis of auctions and procurement with particular attention to the analysis of public tenders
Part II Market regulation and tariffs
- Relation between market power, efficiency, social welfare and natural monopoly
- Economic analysis of regulatory mechanisms.
- Assessment of market power with applications related to collusive behavior, predatory behavior and abusive practices.
Textbooks and teaching materials:

- To be able to presenting their arguments rigorously in a limited amount of time by identifying and selecting the relevant aspects to focus on.
