  • Are Retailing Mergers Anticompetitive? an Event Study Analysis
    Are Retailing Mergers Anticompetitive? An Event Study Analysis Abstract We examine the abnormal returns of rival firms to determine whether four retailing mergers that occurred during the late 1980s reduced competition. We use the stock returns of retailers in geographic markets unaffected by the merger to control for the efficiency-signaling effect of the merger. Using this methodology, we find that rival firms experienced positive abnormal returns from May Company’s 1986 acquisition of Associated Dry Goods and American Stores’ 1988 acquisition of Lucky Stores. These results offer some evidence that retailing mergers that lead to large increases in concentration in already concentrated markets may lessen competition and lead to higher product market prices. John David Simpson Federal Trade Commission and Daniel Hosken Federal Trade Commission January 1998 I) Introduction Antitrust enforcement of retailing mergers has varied over time. In the 1960s, the antitrust agencies and the courts pursued a very aggressive antitrust policy. For example, the Supreme Court blocked a 1960 merger between Von’s Grocery and Shopping Bag Food Stores that would have given the merged firm a 7.5 percent share of the grocery retailing business in Los Angeles.1 In contrast, the antitrust agencies followed a much more relaxed antitrust policy in the 1980s. For instance, the Federal Trade Commission did not challenge May Department Stores Company’s 1986 acquisition of Associated Dry Goods which would have given the combined firm control of nearly all of the traditional department stores in the Pittsburgh area.2 More recently, the antitrust agencies and the courts have adopted a more moderate position with respect to retailing mergers.
