Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to consider the effects of a merger on technology adoption and welfare in the presence of passive cross ownership. Merger increases investments in process technology and may increase welfare. The results are important for antitrust policies and suggest that the antitrust authorities may not need to be too concerned about mergers in industries with cross ownership. Design/methodology/approach - Game-theoretic analysis. Findings - Merger increases investments in process technology and may increase welfare. Originality/value - To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is original.
