Abstract

This article examines antitrust and competition issues in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), focusing on how M&As impact industry competition. It analyzes market concentration, using metrics like the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), and discusses the effects of increased market dominance, such as reduced competition and higher prices. The article also explores how M&As can lead to monopolies or oligopolies and the regulatory measures in place to prevent such outcomes. Additionally, it addresses anticompetitive practices post-merger, including predatory pricing and exclusive agreements, highlighting the role of regulatory authorities in ensuring fair competition and consumer welfare. This overview provides key insights into the complexities of M&A activities and their regulatory implications.
