    Abstract (may include machine translation)

    This chapter surveys the literature on behavioral industrial organization, covering four broad topics: (1) how rational firms interact with consumers who make systematic mistakes in evaluating products; (2) how rational firms respond to consumer preferences that differ from those usually assumed in industrial organization; (3) how psychological phenomena affect firms' behavior; and (4) what policy insights—especially on issues in competition and consumer-protection policy—follow from the literature on behavioral industrial organization.
