"This is an outstanding textbook. It covers practically anything
one would ever want to include in a lecture course in Advanced IO,
and it does so with the perfect blending of rigorous theory and
advanced empirical analysis." Gianni De Fraja, University of
York, and CEPR
"Stephen Martin's book is a marvellous effort. No other text
provides such a comprehensive and updated overview of the
literature of modern industrial economics. I wholeheartedly
recommend it for graduate courses in the subject or as a reference
for any professional economist....
The feature that most distinguishes Advanced Industrial
Economics from competitors is the extended treatment of the
literature on empirical tests of market structure and
performance.
This was long overdue, and Martin has to be commended for
introducing new generations of students to empirical work int his
field.
As a teaching tool, there is much to admire in the book as well:
many of the issues are given a histroical perspective so that
students can better appreciate the direction in which both the
theory and the empirical work has progressed.
Martin also provides a wealth of material on the book's website,
including an extended discussion of the theory of contestable
markets as well as a solutions manual." Times Higher Education
