Lectures
Jean Tirole: “The Theory of Industrial Organization” MIT press, 1988, plus a number of journal articles.
The book by Tirole is a classic text on IO theory. Although it never really goes out of date and is still a standard reference for every serious IO specialist, the book is now almost 30 years old. To bring the students to the research frontier, more recent research papers will cover various topics in theoretical IO.
