Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...
