Market Structure, Conduct and Performance

Performance INDUSTRIAL Organisation as a field of specialisation in economics owes a great deal to the pioneering work done by Edward Mason, a distinguished Harvard economist. Mason's contributions have not been limited to industrial organisation. In the Fifties, he shifted his attention to the study of economic development where again he has left an indelible mark. Harvard's emergence as a major contre of research and training in development economics is due in large measure to Ed Mason's leadership. The book under review is a collection of articles written in Mason's honour by a group of his distinguished students on selected aspects of industrial organisation and economic development.
