Advances in competition economics as well as in computational and empirical methods have offered the scope for the employment of merger simulation models in merger control procedures during the past almost 15 years. Merger simulation is, nevertheless, still a very young and innovative instrument...

Advances in competition economics as well as in computational and empirical methods have offered the scope for the employment of merger simulation models (MSMs) in merger-control procedures during the past almost 15 years. Merger simulation is, nevertheless, still a very young and innovative...

This papers analyses price collusion between platforms in a two-sided market model based on Armstrong (2006). In particular, it addresses Evans and Schmalensee's hypothesis of collusion being harder to sustain because of feedback effects and stronger requirements concerning agreements and...
