International Journal of Industrial Organization

Aims & Scope

The IJIO is an international venture that aims at full coverage of theoretical and empirical questions in industrial organization.

This includes classic questions of strategic behavior and market structure.

The journal also seeks to publish articles dealing with technological change, internal organization of firms, regulation, antitrust and productivity analysis.

We recognize the need to allow for diversity of perspectives and research styles in industrial organization and we encourage submissions in theoretical work, empirical work, and case studies.

The journal will also occasionally publish symposia on topical issues.
