Abstract

Antitrust enforcement in a number of countries allows an efficiencies defence for horizontal mergers, joint ventures, specialization agreements and other horizontal arrangements. These defences may be statutory, jurisprudential or administrative. They involve, in essence, a balancing of real per unit cost savings (improvements in technical efficiency) resulting from a merger or agreement against its anticompetitive effects.
