Industry Reviews

'Keith Cowling, as a teacher and researcher has, for more than a generation, inspired industrial economists to examine and question the workings of the market economy. This remarkable volume reflects the breadth and significance of Professor Cowling's influence. The papers, by a distinguished cast of colleagues and former students, provide an excellent overview of the current state of play in related areas including: market structure, corporate power and governance, technical change, and social welfare. Anyone interested in these issues will find both stimulation and inspiration from these papers. I certainly enjoyed reading them. Despite potential complexities the style is always lively and accessible. All in all, this is a fitting tribute to a key figure in the economics of industrial organisation.' -- John Cubbin, City University London, UK
'I very much enjoyed reading this collection of papers. First and foremost, they do justice to Keith Cowling - to his inspirational teaching and innovative research career. Second, a number of the papers are of genuine interest in their own right. Keith's (albeit indirect) influence is evident throughout, and Mike Waterson should be congratulated in putting together such a valuable volume.' -- Stephen Davies, University of East Anglia, UK
'For more than three decades, Keith Cowling has been making substantial contributions to industrial economics, and to the development of industrial policy and strategy. These essays in his honour encompass the main themes of his work dealing with issues ranging over mergers and acquisitions, technical change, welfare implications of oligopoly, corporate governance and others. This volume provides a set of interesting papers which are a fine tribute to the contributions of Keith Cowling.' -- Malcolm Sawyer, University of Leeds, UK
