Review of Industrial Organization

Aims & Scope

The Review of Industrial Organization publishes research papers on all aspects of industrial organization, broadly defined.

A main focus is on competition and monopoly, in their many forms and processes and their effects on efficiency, innovation, and social conditions.

Topics may range from the internal organization of enterprises to wide international comparisons.

The Review is also increasing its interest in papers on public policies such as antitrust, regulation, deregulation, public enterprise, and privatization.

Papers may deal with any economic sectors and any developed economies.

The Review continues its primary interest in ideas that can be verified by econometric evidence, case studies, or other real conditions.

But the Review also seeks papers that advance significant theories of industrial organization and policy.

Papers using abstract techniques and econometric tests should present the methods and analysis in plain enough English so that non-specialist readers can evaluate the content.
