Program Description
Industrial Economics concentrates on the development of analytic principles in the subject, considering available statistical and descriptive evidence as appropriate.
In economics, industrial organization or Industrial economy is a field that builds on the theory of the firm by examining the structure of (and, therefore, the boundaries between) firms and markets. Industrial organization adds real-world complications to the perfectly competitive model, complications such as transaction costs, limited information, and barriers to entry of new firms that may be associated with imperfect competition. It analyzes determinants of firm and market organization and behavior as between competition and monopoly, including from government actions.
There are different approaches to the subject. One approach is descriptive in providing an overview of industrial organization, such as measures of competition and the size-concentration of firms in an industry. A second approach uses microeconomic models to explain internal firm organization and market strategy, which includes internal research and development along with issues of internal reorganization and renewal.A third aspect is oriented to public policy as to economic regulation, antitrust law, and, more generally, the economic governance of law in defining property rights, enforcing contracts, and providing organizational infrastructure.
The subject has a theoretical side and a practical side. According to one textbook: On one plane the field is abstract, a set of analytical concepts about competition and monopoly. On a second plane the topic is about real markets, teeming with the excitement and drama of struggles among real firms
The extensive use of game theory in industrial economics has led to the export of this tool to other branches of microeconomics, such as behavioral economics and corporate finance. Industrial organization has also had significant practical impacts on antitrust law and competition policy.

Answer:
When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has
received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The
admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not
have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result
you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and
modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra
documents and then re-submit them.
To
avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify
your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application
documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example
to process a degree program application requires more time than a
Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language

time for degree programs application differs. For example
fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a
period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the
number of applicants.
