Abstract

The President’s 2021 Executive Order urged the Division to reevaluate certain aspects of antitrust analyses, facilitate a whole-of-government approach to reinvigorating competition, and pursue aggressive antitrust enforcement. Consistent with the Order, Division economists engaged on competition issues with several federal agencies while contributing to the Division’s many investigations—including several cases that are in ongoing litigation. The Division also continued its vigorous enforcement efforts, including the proposed Cargotec-Konecranes merger and the proposed Aon-Willis Towers Watson merger. These mergers highlight issues that are frequently presented to EAG economists.
