Riassunto
The essay models theoretically horizontal mergers effects in noncooperative static pricing games, among a fixed number of equally capacity-constrained oligopolists. We will show that in symmetric, homogeneous product oligopolies à la Bertrand-Edgeworth horizontal mergers that create a bigger market player, horizontal mergers are always (weakly) profitable for merging firms, raising price over pre-merger level.
