Answer to Question 1

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reviews merger cases and decides whether the main objective is to increase market power or whether there are important efficiency gains from such a merger. One of the main approaches the DOJ adopts in its analysis of mergers is to calculate how concentrated an industry is. An industry is deemed concentrated when a few firms account for a large fraction of total sales in that industry. When a merger stands to increase concentration significantly, the DOJ is less likely to allow the merger.
