Tiivistelmä: | There is diverging empirical evidence on the competitive effects of horizontal mergers: consumer prices (and thus presumably competitors' profits) often rise whereas competitors' share prices fall. This paper proposes a model of endogenous mergers that provides a possible reconciliation. It is demonstrated that anti-competitive mergers may reduce competitors' share prices, if the merger announcement informs the market that the competitors lost a race to buy the target. Also the use of "first rumour" as an event may create similar problems of interpretation. |
