We propose a tutorial on the economics of recommender systems, examining their impacts on product markets, individual choices, and economic actors incentives. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote knowledge exchange. The tutorial covers theoretical foundations, empirical analysis, experimental research, and policy considerations. Key areas include causal effects, surplus generation, bias, market power, and policy implications. Targeting a diverse audience, it offers insights from leading scholars in the field.
