| Description: | This paper considers a model of duopoly with di¤erentiated prod-ucts to examine the welfare e¤ects of a merger between two asymmetric rms. We nd that for quantity competition, the parameter range for welfare enhancing merger widens if the products are closer substitutes. On the other hand, mergers are never welfare enhancing in this setting when rms compete in prices. JEL Classi cation: L11, L12 |
