[Virgilio Machado]

[Industrial Market Structure and Economic Performance] written by Frederic M. Scherer of the University of Michigan, is one of the best studies of the industrial organization field to be published in many years. It represents a systematic empirical and analytical exploration of what progress "has been made in our understanding of how real-world industrial markets function...."
