Abstract/Description:

Competition, Monopoly and Corporate Governance covers three broad themes, each associated with a particular strand of Keith Cowling’s own writings in industrial economics and each represented by four specially commissioned papers.

Providing a critical perspective on many current issues in industrial economics the themes are as follows: internationalisation, trans-nationalism and technical change; monopoly, oligopoly and social welfare; and corporate governance, mergers and the evolution of industrial structure. These chapters provide a challenge to much of the prevailing orthodoxy. There is also an appreciation of Keith Cowling’s long association with the University of Warwick, spanning more than 30 years. A distinguished series of authors have contributed to the book, including several of Europe’s best-known industrial economists.

Academics, economists and political scientists in the area of industrial economics will find this volume invaluable.
