Study on the ex-post evaluation of two merger decisions (UK Competition Commission)

Lear undertook the detailed quantitative assessment of the ex-post effects on the relevant markets of two merger decisions. Lear’s team identified and collected all the relevant data on the affected markets and evaluated the effects that the mergers had on competition. Lear found that the conclusions drawn by the UK Competition Commission were consistent with the observed market outcomes and that the UK Competition Commission had taken the appropriate decision when it approved the two mergers.
