I start from the classical Cournot paradox showing how wrong the underlining assumptions are in order to justify a merger. I then compute the results for an actual merger keeping the non-merging firm market share as given and derive short and long run more realistic conclusions. The improving welfare results due to a merge between complementary goods (Sonnenshein (1968)) are also shown.
Comncio dal classico paradosso di Cournot mostrando quanto siano errate le ipotesi per giustificare una fusione. Calcolo poi il risultato di una fusione effettiva che lasci nel breve periodo costante la quota di mercato dell'impresa che non partecipa alla fusione.e ne traggo conclusioni più realistiche di breve e lungo periodo. Evidenzio infine i noti risultati (Sonnenshein (1968)) di incremento di benessere sociale, qualora la funzione avvenga fra imprese che producono beni complementari.

Abstract
I start from the classical Cournot paradox showing how wrong the underlining assumptions are in order to justify a merger. I then compute the results for an actual merger keeping the non-merging firm market share as given and derive short and long run more realistic conclusions. The improving welfare results due to a merge between complementary goods (Sonnenshein (1968)) are also shown.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
