Mergers

Mergers remove a competitor from the marketplace. Evaluating the competitive effects of a merger requires economic and econometric analysis to assess the:

 

-- antitrust market(s) occupied by the merging parties;

 

-- degree of substitutability between the merging parties' offerings;

 

-- change in concentration and market power that will result; and

 

-- potential remedies if antitrust authorities object.
