In this article we investigate the incentive to merge when firms that produce differentiated
products engage in price competition. We demonstrate that mergers of any size are
beneficial, and are so increasingly: large mergers yield higher profits than smaller ones. ...

In this article we investigate the nature of equilibrium in markets in which firms choose the

Abstract In the Industrial Organization literature, it is generally felt that mergers hurt
