Conglomerate MergersChurch, Jeffrey Robert in Issues in Competition Law and PolicyThis chapter provides an overview of the economics of conglomerate mergers, with a focus on the potential for an increase in its product portfolio to lead to conduct that is anticompetitive. The economics of portfolio power indicates that a conglomerate merger that results in a firm posttransaction having a larger portfolio or product range may have the ability and incentive to engage in anticompetitive conduct. The key question for enforcement is how and whether to identify transactions that might give rise to an anticompetitive effect because of portfolio power, especially since most such transactions will be procompetitive. The chapter traces the evolution of conglomerate enforcement policy in the United States and Europe and considers the appropriateness of current enforcement policy | |

Cross-country analysis of movie piracyWalls, W. D.We examine the rate of motion-picture piracy across a sample of 26 diverse countries. The level of piracy is explained empirically by the level of income, the cost of enforcing property rights, the level of collectivism present in a country's social institution and the level of internet usage. The results of a cross-country regression analysis indicate that piracy is increasing in the level of social coordination and the cost of enforcing property rights, unrelated to income and decreasing in internet usage. | |

Natural gas and electricity marketsWalls, W. D.The natural gas and electric power industries---once the classic examples of natural monopoly---are increasingly being regulated by market forces instead of public service commissions. The emergence of markets in the North American natural gas industry in the mid-1980s resulted largely from the failure of regulation, and a consequence of this regulatory failure was the separation of the energy commodity from its transportation. This simple change in the organization---where the energy commodity was unbundled from its transmission---provides the basis for restructuring natural gas and electricity markets. The natural gas and electricity industries are being transformed so that they more closely resemble a commodity market than a public utility in the move toward market-oriented allocation mechanisms for production, transmission, and distribution. | |

Vertical MergersChurch, Jeffrey Robert in Issues in Competition Law and PolicyThis chapter provides an overview of the economics of vertical mergers. The overview strongly supports, on both theoretical and empirical grounds, a presumption that vertical mergers are welfare enhancing and good for consumers. However, vertical mergers can be anticompetitive if they result in either foreclosure or enhanced coordination. The difficult challenge for enforcement policy is effectively distinguishing between anticompetitive and procompetitive transactions. The economics of vertical mergers can provide a basis for this distinction and thus inform optimal enforcement policy and the nature of vertical merger enforcement guideline |
