Pre-requisites: (Graduate-leve) Microeconomics, Econometrics, and Industrial Organization I and II.
In order to fully understand the papers that we will cover in the class, you must be very familiar with microeconomics and econometrics. Moreover, as we will cover the papers that estimate structural models, you are encouraged to take Industrial Organization I and II before taking this course. Or, at least, you must know basic structural IO papers, such as Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995), Olley and Pakes (1996), Bajari, Benkard, and Levin (2007) and so on.
