Listen "#39 Mergernomics: Merger Simulations"
Episode Synopsis
In the latest episode of our popular "Mergernomics" series, Ted Rosenbaum, Deputy Director in the Bureau of Economics at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, explains how enforcers apply merger simulations to predict market changes after a proposed merger, sometimes with unexpected results. Hosts Anant Raut and Virginie Caspard then dive into two enforcement actions (against the Aetna-Humana and Wilhelmsen-Drew mergers) where merger simulations were used, and later discuss whether merger simulations are as useful in analyzing non-price markets. With special guest: Ted Rosenbaum, Deputy Director, Bureau of Economics, U.S. Federal Trade Commission Hosted by: Anant Raut and Virginie Caspard
