ECON GR6253

This course gave a broad exposure to papers relevant to IO, I learned several computational and estimation methods. The problem set was useful to gain coding skills and learn to apply what we did in class.

I was introduced to several structural model estimation strategies throught the recommended readings. I was also given a guided implementation of such a structural model for one paper in particular.

I think anyone who is both interested in IO and is well-versed with Bellmans and structural models will really enjoy this course. Others may find the material a bit difficult to follow but still good to be exposed to for future improvement in understanding of structural models. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2021 Course: ECONGR6253_001_2021_3-INDUSTRIALORGANIZATIONI : ECONGR6253_001_2021_3 - INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION I Instructor: Gautam Gowrisankaran

Development and estimation of dynamic structural models.

Structural estimation of dynamic models.

I learnt dynamic structural models throughout the semester.

Dynamic models in industrial organization, from single agent to oligopoly; challenges such as the curse of dimensionality, and attempts at getting around them.

In this course, student could have a chance to discuss the research papers with professor in detail, which could enhance the understanding of models and estimations. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2023 Course: ECONGR6253_001_2023_3-INDUSTRIALORGANIZATIONI : ECONGR6253_001_2023_3 - INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION I Instructor: Gautam Gowrisankaran

Dynamic IO models: Rust, Hotz-Miller, dynamic oligopoly models, dynamic learning...

For someone interested in research in IO, this is a must take class. +Gautam is a great instructor, the teaching is easy to follow, and the homework is heavy but super useful.
