Assessing horizontal mergers under uncertain efficiency gains∗
The analysis of horizontal mergers hinges on a tradeoff between unilateral effects and efficiency gains. The article examines the role of uncertainty (on the efficiency gains) in this tradeoff. Common wisdom is that the antitrust authorities should be very cautious about random gains. Our results show that dismissing efficiency gains on the sole ground that they are uncertain would not be theor...

Every merger has to be submitted to an Antitrust Authority (AA) which, apart from blocking or unconditionally approving it, might approve a modified version of the concentration where divestitures are required.

Furthermore, Salant et al. (1983) demonstrate that (not for monopoly) mergers are unprofita...

If so, how should a system be designed to account for effi...
