Vertical Mergers, Raising Rivals’ Costs and Foreclosure in a Network Industry ()
Affiliation(s)
ABSTRACT
Foreclosure through raising a network rival’s costs may not be detrimental in the short-term, but in the longer-term it may allow a predator to expand its market share. The focus of antitrust opinion in assessing potential vertical mergers should therefore be on the longer-term effects of such mergers.
