Pro-competitive merger under R&D revisited
Mukherjee, Arijit; Ray, Achintya
Authors

Abstract
Mergers may increase process innovation and become pro-competitive compared to non-cooperation if firms cannot observe rivals' R&D investments. Hence, the antitrust authorities may not need to be overly concerned about mergers when R&D investments are not readily observable.
