| Tiivistelmä: | Based on an experiment, the merger paradox, a relative of Harsanyi's bargaining paradox, is explored by analysing bilateral mergers in experimental Cournot markets with initially three or four firms. Total outputs are predicted well by standard Cournot-Nash equilibrium, but merged firms end up producing more than their competitors. The findings are explained by a notion of aspiration levels, and it is demonstrated that the same logic applies also to a new firm market entry. |
