International HIPAA, Privacy, and Security Law Considerations
Merger efficiencies tend to exert downward pressure on prices, and upward pressure on quality and innovation. There is (mostly) a consensus that the benefits from these efficiencies should somehow be weighed against the harm arising from the elimination of whatever competition had previously existed between the merging firms. But there are many questions, both conceptual and practical, about how this weighing should be done. These questions are the subject of this webinar.

Closed Captioned.
A merger efficiency is a merger-induced reduction in the costs of one or both of the merging firms. Cost efficiencies involve reductions in the cost of producing output and are a factor in nearly every horizontal merger case. Quality efficiencies involve reductions in the cost of producing quality, and are a major factor in merger cases where product quality is highly important, particularly hospital and other healthcare provider mergers. Innovation efficiencies involve reductions in the cost (maybe only in a probabilistic sense) of successful innovation.
These efficiencies, when they exist, tend to exert downward pressure on prices and upward pressure on quality and innovation. A major element of contemporary merger analysis involves weighing these beneficial efficiency effects (assuming that they meet certain requirements such as merger specificity) against the harmful effects (upward pressure on prices and downward pressure on quality and innovation) * arising from the fact that whatever competition had previously existed between the merging firms will no longer exist after the merger.
The idea that the efficiency benefits of mergers should somehow be weighed against competitive harm is straightforward and (mostly) uncontroversial. But beyond that high-level principle, there are many questions and significant disagreements. In this panel, we will discuss a number of these questions, including:
Please note that while this discussion will inevitably touch on some parts of the highly controversial debate regarding the "consumer welfare standard," that debate is NOT the subject of this webinar.
*The effects of merger-induced reductions in competition on quality and innovation are not straightforward. But to a rough first approximation the statement in the main text is correct.
