Simulando efeitos de fusões sobre equilíbrio de preços: um estudo para o mercado brasileiro de automóveis

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of mergers simulation on the Brazilian automobile market. The central objective is computing the effects of a merger in the equilibrium price. Postmerger equilibrium outcomes are simulated under some assumptions on the demand and the supply sides. The results confirm the expected increase in prices. This result is suitable with the expectation that the mergers would implicate in increases of market prices and, without increases of economical efficiency, they can impose losses for the consumers.
