Abstract

An anticompetitive horizontal merger creats an opportunity for entry, which might deter or counteract the competitive effects of concern. This paper analyzes mergers in randomly generated Cournot and Bertrand Industries to ascertain the incremental effect of the mergers on the profitability of entry, and determine the net effects on prices welfare of the mergers followd by entry.
