Aims & Scope
The Journal of Industrial Organization Education solicits lectures and other material for use in teaching undergraduates, graduate students, or other professionals (e.g., lawyers) concerning industrial organization broadly defined. In addition to topics that are covered in industrial organization textbooks, relevant topics include (but are not limited to) auctions, strategic trade, regulation, antitrust law, theory of the firm, intellectual property rights, and game theory.
We want submissions that add value and bring life to a classroom: something interesting and different. We do not want lectures that merely summarize the literature or repeat the analysis in a text book (even in a great textbook like Carlton and Perloff!). What we’d like is a complete, innovative lecture or a part of a lecture, such as an exceptionally good case study, a clever use of multi-media, a scene from a movie and a discussion showing how to analyze it with economics, or a different or unusual take on a topic. We urge contributors to be creative, innovative, and take nonstandard approaches.
We particularly desire contributions that make use of various media. You might consider providing a lecture with associated PowerPoint or other slides. Or the lecture might accompany a video clip. A classroom experiment might have various written documents (instruction sheet, forms, and a table of values). Indeed, a written lecture is not necessary. One might record voice on a set of PowerPoint slides, which a faculty member could assign to students to review outside of class or play in class.
As of now, bepress cannot handle streaming video. However, it can handle virtually any type of electronic material (such as written documents, videos, voice recordings, photos, and slides) that can be downloaded over a high speed line within a few minutes.
