A generalization of Takayama and Judge's spatial equilibrium model that allows for any degree of market structure is presented. The model is applied to the Japanese dairy industry to examine interregional milk movements generated under alternative assumed degrees of market competition. The results indicate that the perfect competition and monopoly equilibrium solutions result in a lower and a higher price, respectively, than actual price levels. On the other hand, the Cournot-Nash equilibrium solutions are the most similar to actual observations, and the actual interregional milk movements are best explained by imperfectly competitive behavior.
Textbook
Industrial Organization: Theory and Practice blends a rigorous theoretical introduction to industrial organization with empirical data, real-world applications and case studies. The book also supports students with a range of problems and exercises, and definitions of key terms and concepts. This balanced approach, which enables students to apply theoretical tools, has earned this book its ranking as one of the leading undergraduate texts in its field. For the fifth edition, relevant data, tables, empirical examples and case studies have been updated to reflect current trends and topics, in the most complete reorganization since the second edition. Further changes include: all public policy topics have been placed in the last section, making it simpler to use for courses that emphasize theory or public policy; an entirely new chapter on international trade and industrial organization; a new chapter on mergers; a separate section on antitrust; a companion website with PowerPoint slides and other supplements. This comprehensive book bridges the gap between economic theory and real-world case studies in an accessible, logical manner, making it the ideal undergraduate text for courses on industrial organization.
