Abstract

Merger simulation is now widely used by economists to evaluate the likely competitive effects of a proposed merger. However, the reliability of a given merger simulation depends crucially on the reliability of the data used and the assumptions made. We discuss tests that can be used to assess the reliability of a merger simulation and show how these tests were applied in the context of the Volvo–Scania merger.
