Merger simulation in competition policy: A survey
Budzinski, Oliver; Ruhmer, Isabel - 2009
Advances in competition economics as well as in computational and empirical methods have offered the scope for the employment of merger simulation models in merger control procedures during the past almost 15 years. Merger simulation is, nevertheless, still a very young and innovative instrument...

Entry, exit, and the determinants of market structure
Dunne, Timothy; Klimek, Shawn D.; Roberts, Mark J.; Xu, … - 2013
This paper estimates a dynamic, structural model of entry and exit in an oligopolistic industry and uses it to quantify the determinants of market structure and long-run firm values for two U.S. service industries, dentists and chiropractors. Entry costs faced by potential entrants, fixed costs...

Globalization and general worker training
Gersbach, Hans; Schmutzler, Armin - 2004
We examine how globalization affects firms incentives to train workers. In our model, firms invest in productivity-enhancing worker training before Cournot competition takes place. When two separated product markets become integrated and are thus replaced with a market with greater demand and...

The gas chain: influence of its specificities on the liberalisation process
Swartenbroekx, Carine - 2007
Like other network industries, the European gas supply industry has been liberalised, along the lines of what has been done in the United Kingdom and the United States, by opening up to competition the upstream and downstream segments of essential transmission infrastructure. The aim of this...

The Oracle/PeopleSoft case: unilateral effects, simulation models and econometrics in contemporary merger control
Budzinski, Oliver; Christiansen, Arndt - 2007
An increasingly important part of contemporary merger control both in the US and the EU is unilateral effects analysis, particularly with regard to oligopolistic mergers. In practice, this requires econometric analyses of past market data and, above all, the construction of simulation models in...

Demand growth, entry and collusion sustainability
Capuano, Carlo - 2002
The purpose of this paper is to represent in which way a stable and no negligible growth in demand can affect the level of sustainability of collusion. For the European Commission this assumption is seen as a factor that disincentives collusion and pushes to a competitive behavior. This fact...
