My research under the supervision of Prof. Nil Özcağlar-Toulouse focused on market dynamics, including market developments, and the influence of different actors (consumers, producers, marketers) in the formation of market structures.

What is the underlying structure of what makes these different institutions and individual types of behaviours possible?
