Rezensionen

'The second edition of Paul Belleflamme and Martin Peitz's Industrial Organization: Markets and Strategies is encyclopedic in its coverage of modern industrial organization, including both seminal and new models. The authors present models with exactly the right level of formal detail to equip students and practitioners with what they need to understand a plethora of issues ranging from two-sided markets to price discrimination. I commend the authors for doing the impossible - improving their initial gem.' Michael Baye, Bert Elwert Professor of Business Economics, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University
