This course explores how algorithms shape markets from an industrial organization perspective. Through empirical studies and theoretical analysis, students will learn about the basics of algorithms and the associated economic tradeoffs. We explore algorithmic pricing, platform economics, algorithmic regulation, and how algorithms affect the labour market, industrial organization, and the information economy.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
