<br/></p><p>导师推荐看的!这是目录,大家可以看一下,非常详细的!</p><p><strong>Course Outline; Harvard.<br/>Ariel Pakes<br/></strong><br/>This a brief outline of the topics that are likely to be covered. Exactly<br/>what is covered, and in which order, depends a bit on how fast we go, and<br/>on teacher and class interests.<br/>1. Background<br/> A potted history of I.O.<br/> Empirical regularities and some notes on data availability.<br/> A digression on Gibrat's Law and the need for theory.<br/> A framework for applied analysis (and its limitations).<br/> Some Simple Static Models as a Starting Point; Supply and De-<br/>mand, Houthackker, Lucas, and Extensions.<br/>2. Production and Cost Functions: Uses, Data, and Estimation Problems.<br/> Review: Overview on the uses of cost functions. The primal and<br/>dual problems, multi-product functions and xed costs.<br/> Estimation; Types of data, simultaneity, and selection problems.<br/> Extensions: Learning by doing, characteristic based cost func-<br/>tions.<br/> Productivity analysis and measuring technical change.<br/> Empirical applications: De-regulation of telecommunications, Tar-<br/>i policy and productivity. Learning in the Aircraft Industry.<br/>3. Demand Systems<br/>1<br/> Review: Overview on the uses of demand functions. Product vs.<br/>characteristic space.<br/> Product Space. Gorman's forms and extensions. Estimation Prob-<br/>lems.<br/> Characteristics Space. Theory and estimation.<br/> Problem set: Estimating (extensions of) the vertical model.<br/> Empirical applications; Own and cross price elasticities and their<br/>uses (autos, cereals, ...). New goods (the CPI, regulatory lag, mar-<br/>keting). Geographical demand patterns (retail markets, location<br/>patterns).<br/>4. Static Equilibrium and Merger Analysis.<br/> The Cournot and Bertrand Models: Estimation and Identication<br/>Problems.<br/> Alternatives to static Bertrand and Cournot; the \Conduct" pa-<br/>rameter.<br/> Strategic Complements and Strategic Substitutes.<br/> Static Merger Models<br/> The Merger Guidelines, \standard" empirical analysis, and dy-<br/>namic problems with the conclusions.<br/>5. Dynamic Lessons from Two Period Models.<br/> Kreps and Scheinkman, Judd; quantities, prices or both.<br/> Mankiw and Whinston, over-investment?<br/> Some notes on \knowledge" versus \physical" capital,<br/> Lippman and Rumelt; implications of uncertainty.<br/> Dixit, entry deterrence.<br/> Sutton, Concentration and Market Size.<br/> Product Choice, Product Location, and Variety models.<br/> Empirical entry models; Berry, Bresnahan and Reiss.<br/> Entry models and product development. Theory and empirical<br/>work.<br/>2<br/>6. Single Agent Dynamics.<br/> An (almost) standard investment example. The contraction map-<br/>ping theorem and some of its corollaries, Blackwell's theorem.<br/> Theoretical examples<br/>{ A monopolist with unknown demand,<br/>{ Dixit's entry and exit (S-s) problem.<br/> Problem set: computing Dixit's policies and using them for infer-<br/>ence.<br/> Empirical Examples<br/>{ Timmins on regulation and natural resources,<br/>{ Pakes on renewing patents,<br/>{ Rust on machine replacement.<br/>7. Multiple Agent Dynamics<br/> A review of some \competitive" dynamic models with heteroge-<br/>neous agents.<br/> Markov Perfect Equilibrium. The Maskin-Tirole articles; entry<br/>deterrence, kinked demand curves, wars of attrition, and linear<br/>quadratic games.<br/> Judd on mergers, and on quantity and price setting.<br/>8. A Computable Markov Perfect Framework and Numerical Analysis.<br/> Ericson-Pakes and Pakes-McGuire. A computational framework.<br/> Problem set: Computing and analyzing an equilibrium.<br/> Applied examples<br/> Computational problems and an outline of more advanced com-<br/>putational techniques.<br/>9. Extending the Simple Markov Perfect Model.<br/> Dynamic policy equations for single agent models when price (or<br/>quantity) aects more than current prots.<br/>3<br/> Dynamic policy equations for mutliple agent models when future<br/>demand or cost functions depend on current price (or quantity)<br/>decisions<br/> Applications and policy implications; learning by doing, durable<br/>goods, experience goods, addiction, \network" externalities and<br/>lock-in.<br/> Allowing for mergers.<br/>10. Collusion<br/> An overview on issues, the law, and empirical work.<br/> Collusion in repeated games with and without asymmetric infor-<br/>mation; Stigler, Friedman, Green and Porter, and Abreu Pearce<br/>and Stachetti.<br/> The Rotemberg-Saloner model and extensions.<br/> Collusion in dynamic games; Davidson and Deneckre, Fershtman<br/>and Pakes.<br/>11. Technological Change.<br/> Diusion; aggregate and micro models.<br/> Knowledge spillovers and their likely importance.<br/> Markov Perfect Models with spillovers.<br/> Intellectual property; the institutional environment.<br/> Empirical work; a review of micro data sources and empirical re-<br/>sults.<br/>4</p><p></p>
