The effects of such a merger depend on whether data trade among independent firms is possible, and on whether data use benefits consumers or leads to more surplus extraction. When data increases product B’s quality, the merger benefits consumers on both markets if data cannot be traded absent the merger, and harms them otherwise. When data is used to extract consumer surplus on market B the merger increases consumer surplus on market A and reduces it on market B. date: 2024-09 date_type: published publisher: TSE Working Paper official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/129733 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: TRUE view_date_year: 2024 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper series: TSE Working Paper volume: 24-1576 place_of_pub: Toulouse pages: 19 institution: Université Toulouse Capitole department: Toulouse School of Economics book_title: TSE Working Paper oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:129733 harvester_local_overwrite: department harvester_local_overwrite: creators_name harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: institution harvester_local_overwrite: pages oai_lastmod: 2024-09-20T12:34:47Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 citation: Cornière, Alexandre de and Taylor, Greg (2024) Data-Driven Mergers.
