麻省理工学院“开放式课程网页” | 经济学 | 14.23 2003春季课程：政府的产业条例

本课程的目标是要介绍给您在市场的竞争平衡“失灵”时政府的角色。在本课程中我们将会强调市场结构与产业性能的重要性，包括了厂商在策略上的互动。我们将检验个别市场的行为的某些细节，着重在成本分析、市场需求的决定因素、投资行为、市场能力、以及政府管制行为的涉入。本课程将会分为三个部分。在第一个部分中，我们将会检视厂商行为及市场理论。在此，我们将讨论完全竞争市场（我们的“基准点”）、效率、市场结构、策略竞争、以及生产率。当市场的基本原则已被全盘了解时，我们将会移动到课程的第二个部分，在此我们将研究“经济的”管制。在此，我们将会看看自然独占的行为以及应付它们的管制选择。而在课程的第三个部分中，我们将会研究“社会的”管制－－将重点放在环保、健康、以及安全性的管制。

The objective of this course is to introduce you to the role of government in markets where competitive equilibria “fail.” In this course we will emphasize the importance of market structure and industrial performance, including the strategic interaction of firms. We will examine the behavior of individual markets in some detail, focusing on cost analysis, the determinants of market demand, investment behavior, market power, and the implications of government regulatory behavior. The course will be broken into three parts. In the first part, we will review firm behavior and the theory of the market. Here, we will discuss perfectly competitive markets (our “benchmark”), efficiency, market structure, strategic competition, and productivity. Once the foundations of the market are well understood, we will then move on to the second part of the course, where we will study “economic” regulation. Here, we will look at the behavior of natural monopolies and regulatory options for dealing with them. And in the third part of the course, we will study “social” regulation—focusing on environmental, health, and safety regulation.
