Description

Weiss has been an important figure in structure-conduct-performance research. In particular, his work has been instrumental in showing how market structure and the conduct of firms relate to subsequent economic performance. The purpose of this volume is to bring together the most important work that has been published by Weiss over the last three decades. The volume also contains retrospective comments by Weiss on his earlier work. The first section of the book comprises work by Weiss on the determinants of market structure. The second section includes Weiss' studies on the relation between market structure and economic performance.
