    About the Course

    Perfect markets achieve efficiency: maximizing total surplus generated. But real markets are imperfect. In this course we will explore a set of
    market imperfections to understand why they fail and to explore possible remedies including as antitrust policy, regulation, government
    intervention. Examples are taken from everyday life, from goods and services that we all purchase and use. We will apply the theory to current
    events and policy debates through weekly exercises. These will empower you to be an educated, critical thinker who can understand, analyze
    and evaluate market outcomes.

    Great and relevant content, presented in an interesting and easy way; allowing the student to go through the video materials in an individual pace and thus optimize the study sessions.
