The impact of horizontal mergers on market structure : evidence from the semiconductor industry
Siebert, Ralph - 2016
The U.S. and EU Merger Guidelines strongly emphasize the relevance of the "ease of entry" argument in merger evaluations. Up to now, very little is known empirically about how mergers affect entry and exit, and the resulting number of firms in the markets. We empirically test this aspect of...

Unobserved heterogeneity in dynamic games : Cannibalization and preemptive entry of hamburger chains in Canada
Igami, Mitsuru; Yang, Nathan - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 7 (2016) 2, pp. 483-521

Goppelsroeder, Marie - 2011
This paper presents an experiment to test effects of sequential entry on stability of collusion in oligopoly markets. Previous research suggests that the larger the number of firms, the harder it is to sustain collusion. We find that when groups start off small and the entrant is informed about...
