Author(s): Tommaso Valletti and Hans Zenger

Publication Date: July 2020

Keyword(s): differentiated products, mergers and Unilateral Effects

Programme Area(s): Industrial Organization

Abstract: On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the 2010 U.S. Horizontal Merger Guidelines, this article provides an overview of the state of economic analysis of unilateral effects in mergers with differentiated products. Drawing on our experience with merger enforcement in Europe, we discuss both static and dynamic competition, with a special emphasis on the calibration of competitive effects. We also discuss the role of market shares and structural presumptions in differentiated product markets.
