Empirical Models of Demand and Entry in Industrial Organization

About

Since 2006 the Department of Economics of the University of Crete has been successfully running its Advanced Summer School in Economics and Econometrics. The broader objective of this series of events is to provide advanced training to young researchers from all over Europe and beyond on important disciplines of economics and econometrics. The specialized topic varies from year to year and reflects contemporary areas of state-of-the-art research and major policy interest.

The topic of the 2025 Advanced Summer School in Economics and Econometrics is "Empirical Models of Demand and Entry in Industrial Organization" and the instructors are Frank Verboven, Professor of Economics, KU Leuven, and Christos Genakos, Professor of Economics, University of Cambridge. The course is designed for PhD students, researchers and practitioners interested in the fundamentals of, as well as recent advances in techniques used for demand estimation and analysis of entry in empirical industrial organization. The afternoon computer-lab sessions are an important part of the course, where the participants will gain hands-on experience in applying the theoretical models on standard datasets.
