Course content

This course will provide students with insights into how economic methods and theory can be used for coordinating, managing and modeling industrial value chains. Economic instruments and incentives in relation to corporate and optimization models are considered. We also discuss how the different approaches relate to environmental and societal sustainability.

Possible topics are: supply chain management, handling of uncertainty, transfer prices, design and analysis of contracts, agent theory, auctions theory and institutional economics.
