The purpose of this module is to equip students with the specialist tools to conduct quantitative economic assessments relevant to competition cases and regulatory matters. It will cover key techniques to empirically analyze markets. We will use data-driven examples from selected industries in France and internationally. The content of the course will be based on a discussion of selected academic papers to introduce the theory and their practical applications to competition and regulatory cases.
The course will combine lectures and hands-on sessions during which real industry data sets will be used to conduct econometric estimations in R. Regular homework assignments will also enable to practice independently the empirical methods taught during the lectures.
