Mergers under endogenous minimum quality standard: a note

Berardino Cesi

University of Bristol

Abstract

We introduce merging strategies and endogenous MQS, borrowed from Ecchia and Lambertini (1997), in Scarpa
(1998). MQS induces the low-quality firm to exit the market and leads to a monopoly arising from the bilateral merger
of the high-quality firms

I would like to thank Alberto Iozzi, Sara Biancini, Dimitri Paolini and the anonymous referee for their helpful comments.
