In this article, we show how to implement merger simulation in Stata as a postestimation command, that is, after … estimating an aggregate nested logit demand system with a linear regression model. We also show how to implement merger … simulation when the demand parameters are not estimated but instead calibrated to be consistent with outside information on …

such endeavors is the emergenceand advancement of a practice known as merger simulation.The first goal of this dissertation … the DM approach, an additional contribution is madeby demonstrating the robustness of merger simulation results across 22 …

antitrust authorities have implemented a new method, called ‘merger simulation’ or the use of an oligopoly model with a demand …

This paper discusses policy choice under ambiguity in the context of merger simulation. We do so by incorporating the … uncertainty about post-merger conduct into a simple merger simulation model. We isolate the problem of uncertainty regarding post …

confront the predictions from a merger simulation study, as conducted during the investigation, with the actual merger effects … over a two-year comparison window. The merger simulation model is based on a constant expenditures specification for the …
