Enrick Arnaud-Joufray (ESSEC Business School) published a Law and Economics article titled “The effects of mergers on product variety in markets with multihoming consumers” in #Concurrences 4-2024. Read more here: shorturl.at/YY4zR This article examines firms' incentives to offer differentiated products in traditional one-sided markets and two-sided media markets. In traditional markets, firms prioritize total demand, while in media markets, they also consider demand composition, such as whether consumers patronize multiple outlets. The study suggests that insufficient differentiation is more common in two-sided media markets and that mergers, while costly, may help address this issue. #concurrence #antitrustlaw #competitionlaw #droitdelaconcurrence #marketsharing #consumerwelfare #mergercontrol #barriertoentry #economicanalysis #lawandeconomics Concurrences Review provides expert analyses and diverse perspectives on competition law.

The standard of proof required for a merger to be blocked has been challenged by the European General Court in CK Telecoms’s case. #NilsWAHL @EUCourtPress #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

La discussion de clôture donnée par Nils Whal débute. #NilsWAHL @EUCourtPress #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

L’adaptation au FSR en entreprise peut s’apparenter à la mise en place d’un programme de conformité très concentré. #CelineDARRIGADE @Thalesgroup #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

Le contrôle des concentrations répond d’une vision intégrée des opérations qui ne correspond pas à la réalité du secteur hôtelier. #BesmaBOUMAZA @Accor #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

Dans le cadre de la régulation FSR, l’analyse de marché post closing est capturée ex ante et non ex post. #CelineDARRIGADE @Thalesgroup #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

Le contrôle des concentrations nécessite la mobilisation de ressources internes à l’entreprise très spécialisées. #BesmaBOUMAZA @Accor #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

L'absence de dialogue avec les autorités de concurrence est préjudiciable à l’emploi et in fine, aux consommateurs. #KarimaELSAMMA @ArcelorMittal #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

Le 24 septembre 2024 la Commission a pour la première fois accepté des engagements dans le cadre d’une notification FSR faisant intervenir une entreprise Émiratie. @Melanie29654134 @dechertllp #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

L’analyse multi juridictionnelle s’est complexifiée et nécessite une mise à jour au fil de l’avancée de l’opération de concentration. #CelineDARRIGADE @Thalesgroup #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

L’arrêt Illumina/Grail réaffirme la supériorité du principe de sécurité juridique. #BesmaBOUMAZA @Accor #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl

La pratique actuelle des autorités de concurrence est assimilable à une politique industrielle. #KarimaELSAMMA @ArcelorMittal #CompetitionLaw #GlobalMergerControl
